- Family Studies
- Developmental Psychology
Background
- Previous studies show value similarity in homogeneous religious families and distance in heterogeneous ones.
- Research indicates a gap in religious values between parents and teenagers in mixed religious-secular households.
Purpose Of The Study
- To investigate religious value transmission within homogeneous Modern-Orthodox and heterogeneous Modern-Orthodox-secular families in Israel.
- To analyze the factors influencing religious value distance between parents and children in different family structures.
Main Methods
- Comparative analysis of religious value socialization in distinct family types.
- Examination of parent-child religious value congruence and distance.
Main Results
- Religious value distance is not solely dependent on family type (homogeneous/heterogeneous).
- A notable distance exists in religious value socialization when a religious parent transmits values, regardless of family structure.
- Effect sizes of parent-child religious value distance are smaller in homogeneous Modern-Orthodox families compared to heterogeneous ones.
Conclusions
- Parental transmission of religiosity may act as a mechanism for secularization.
- Understanding religious value transmission is crucial for comprehending shifts in religiosity across generations.

Adolescents from ethnic minority backgrounds face a multifaceted journey in forming their identities, shaped by the intersections of cultural expectations and personal exploration. For these adolescents, identity formation involves not only typical developmental challenges but also navigating the perceptions and attitudes of the majority culture. As they grow, adolescents in ethnic minority groups often become increasingly aware of stereotypes, social biases, and discrimination, all of which...
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...
Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.
Surveys allow researchers to gather data from larger samples than may be afforded by...
Attachment is a long-standing connection or bond with others. While Attachment Theory was conceived in developmental psychology to describe infant-caregiver bonding, it's been extended into adulthood to include romantic relationships.
The Basis of Attachment Theory in Development
Building on the work of Harlow and others, John Bowlby developed the concept of attachment theory. He defined attachment as the affectional bond or tie that an infant forms with the mother (Bowlby,...
