Area of Science:

  • Sociology
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Adolescent Psychology

Background:

  • Adolescent alienation is a growing concern in social and psychological research.
  • Understanding factors influencing alienation is crucial for developing targeted interventions.
  • Previous studies have explored various individual and environmental influences on alienation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between family background (religious affiliation/commitment, family structure) and adolescent alienation.
  • To examine the influence of socioeconomic factors on levels of adolescent alienation.
  • To determine if grade level moderates the relationship between background factors and alienation.

Main Methods:

  • Survey research design involving 1,064 adolescents from urban and junior high school settings in the Midwest.
  • Utilized the Dean Alienation Scale to measure levels of alienation.
  • Collected data on family variables (religious affiliation, commitment, structure) and parental economic status.

Main Results:

  • Adolescents from traditional two-parent families with strong religious commitment reported higher alienation.
  • A direct positive correlation was found between parental economic status and adolescent alienation.
  • Alienation levels increased with the adolescent's grade level.

Conclusions:

  • Family structure and religious commitment, contrary to some expectations, may be associated with increased adolescent alienation.
  • Socioeconomic factors and academic progression are significant correlates of adolescent alienation.
  • Further research is needed to explore the complex interplay of these variables and their impact on adolescent well-being.
