Attachment and religious development in adolescence: The implications of culture

Number of Authors: 12012 (English)In: Values, religion, and culture in adolescent development / [ed] Gisela Trommsdorff; Xinyin Chen, Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press, 2012, p. 315-340Chapter in book (Refereed)
Abstract [en]

In this attachment-theoretical chapter, I highlight relations between attachment and religious development in adolescence, while taking cultural implications into account. I argue that adolescence is a sensitive phase of development related to both attachment and religiosity. h is period is ot en associated with transfer of attachment functions from parents to age-mates. In the religious realm, this period may be linked to either increased religiosity (e.g., conversion) or to disengagement from religion. During adolescence, an attachment-like relationship with God may also develop. Furthermore, on the basis of empirical studies, I discuss the implications of individual dif erences in attachment security for religious development in adolescence. I distinguish between two notable developmental pathways: secure attachment to religious caregivers as a basis for religious stability (“correspondence pathway”) and insecure attachment to caregivers as a basis of distress regulation through religion (“compensation pathway”). In the i rst case, believers are more likely to experience well-being; in the latter case, religion may serve as a protective factor in development. I also take into account possible negative ef ects of religion on adjustment. Finally, I discuss the cultural generalizability versus specii city of each of the central arguments in the chapter.
