Religion's Role in the Shaping of Self-Image, Aspirations, and Achievement in Youth (2005—2010) Presented: Washington, DC, William T.

This research explores relationships between religion and self-image, educational/career aspirations, and educational achievement in youth. Religion is conceptualized as multi-dimensional, and the focus is on how religious ideologies, practices, and salience are related to how youth perceive themselves and prepare for their futures. Survey analyses of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 Children and Young Adults (NLSY79C), the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health), and the National Study of Youth and Religion (NSYR) will be combined with semi-structured interview analysis and in-depth case studies from the NSYR to shed light on these questions from multiple angles. Findings will suggest the extent to which the same factors selecting youth into religious involvement predict more positive outcomes, highlight which dimensions of religion seem to carry the most weight, and describe how these processes may vary based on race/ethnicity or gender. |
