“…This nding looks similar to Visser-Vogel (2015), who found three important themes in a study of Muslim adolescents in the Netherlands: acquiring knowledge (conceptual component), participating in and being involved with their own communities (collective component), and following the commandments of Allah (practical component). These components also appear by de Bruin-Wassinkmaat et al (2021) in the context of religious identity commitment.…”

The religious identity formation process plays an important role in some people's lives; however, this identity domain has a lack of research. The aim of this study is to understand the process of religious identity development based on identity formation theory from a temporal integration perspective (Syed and McLean, 2016), which represents the developmental dimension of Erikson theory. MethodsUsing qualitative methodology, we conducted 158 interviews: 45 semistructured re ective interviews and 113 monthly expressive open interviews over 1.5 years with 20 male emerging adults aged 18-20 years in three religious Mechina gap-year programs in Israel. ResultsContent analysis distinguished three components of religious identity: a conceptual component, a practical component and a collective component, which were found to be dominant in different stages of the religious identity formation process and in a different social context. DiscussionThe ndings that point to two developmental models also relate to the person-society integration perspective (Syed and McLean, 2016), which represents the contextual dimension of Erikson's theory; both the developmental and the contextual dimensions are lacking in Marcia's operationalization of Erikson's theory. These ndings also shed light on the necessity to relate all these components in the religious identity domain and have the potential for an integrative view of identity formation, as we discuss below.

“…Prior studies have emphasised that religion is essential for the establishment of sameness and coherence in the development of individuals’ identities (Erikson, 1968). Thus, as de Bruin-Wassinkmaat et al (2020) suggested, RC is fundamental for the promotion of a coherent identity, a positive recognition of the self, and others, and helps people to better understand the purpose of life, a question which often arises during adolescence. Despite this post-modern subjectivism, in which the norm seems to be non-commitment and openness to everything, young people strive to identify who they are and find a purpose and meaning in their lives.…”

Given the lack of research into the link between the individual cultural values of the millennial generation mediated by religious commitment (RC) and brand love (BL), this research intends to the following: (a) identify the individual cultural values of the millennial generation and (b) explain how these values influence BL when mediated by RC. A quantitative methodology with structural equation modelling is used. Data were collected from members of the millennial generation in Portugal by survey questionnaire. The main findings of the data analysis showed that independence, power and tradition are the predominant individual cultural values of Portuguese millennials. The results showed that the independence individual cultural value negatively influences intrapersonal and interpersonal RC; power and tradition positively influence intrapersonal and interpersonal RC; only interpersonal RC positively influences BL. The study concludes with some insights that managers might use to address consumer-brand communications. Guidelines for further research are presented.

“…Commitment takes place when an adolescent is dedicated to a choice regarding identity matters (Erikson, 1968). For Erikson, religion can make an important contribution to identity (De Bruin‐Wassinkmaat et al, 2020). Balkin et al define religious identity as a ‘process in which individuals explore and commit to a set of religious beliefs and/or practices’ (Balkin et al, 2009, p. 420).…”

Foster children often encounter worldview differences between their foster family and their birth family, for example, when participating in religious activities and practices. Foster children not only have a right to continuity in upbringing but also consistency in worldview, culture and language. Good co‐parenting relationships are important for their identity development. For these reasons, foster care workers are entrusted with the task of supporting the triadic relationship of the foster child, birth parents and foster parents in dealing with worldview differences. Based on in‐depth interviews with foster care workers (n = 16) six skills in dealing with worldview differences can be distinguished: (1) basic knowledge of worldviews and identity formation; (2) empathizing with the other; (3) inquisitiveness to discover what is essential for the other; (4) initiating worldview conversations and keeping them going; (5) fostering self‐reflection in worldview; and (6) manoeuvring between and monitoring all interests. It is helpful if birth parents are well‐informed in advance about the impact of worldview differences and if foster care workers and foster parents are aware of the identity and developmental needs of foster children to explore the worldview of the foster family and the birth family.
