“…The most common behavioral change described was attending religious services less frequently, which supports previous findings of decreases in religious attendance at this stage (Johnston et al, 1995). The most commonly described change in faith was a stronger sense of faith, which also supports prior work (De Haan & Schulenberg, 1997;Kotesky et al, 1990). Although the majority of emerging adults may not have been exploring their religion, many who did report changes described changes consistent with religious exploration.…”

“…There is evidence that individuals become more religious as they transition from adolescence to adulthood, including increases in commitment and in intrinsic religiosity (De Haan & Schulenberg, 1997;Kotesky, Walker, & Johnson, 1990;Stolzenberg, Blair-Loy, & Waite, 1995). In contrast, although many emerging adults report that religion is important to them, their attendance at religious services actually decreases (Johnston, Bachman, & O'Malley, 1995).…”

“…Similarly, Zaff et al (2011) demonstrated increasing mean levels in civic efficacy from grade levels 8 to 11. This finding is plausible since adolescence can be characterized as the period of individual political socialization (De Haan & Schulenberg, 1997;Fend, 1991;Flanagan & Gallay, 1995;Sears & Levy, 2003;Yates & Youniss, 1998). Adolescents are increasingly faced with political issues once political education is introduced as a school subject in secondary school curricula.…”

“…This might be due to adolescents' critical reviews of political issues which might result from increasing examinations of and reflections on political issues (Wasburn, 1994). Hence, although adolescence can be seen as the peak period of political socialization (De Haan & Schulenberg, 1997;Fend, 1991;Flanagan & Gallay, 1995;Sears & Levy, 2003;Yates & Youniss, 1998 Future studies should be conducted in order to unveil variables contributing to the formation and explanation of constructs of political socialization. In this context, studies should examine the relation between political efficacy and student characteristics whereby both politics-related and general personal characteristics should be taken into account.…”

The present study focuses on political efficacy in terms of students' competence self-perceptions related to the domain of politics. The investigation addresses the mean level development and longitudinal relations to outcome variables including gender differences. Drawing on a sample of N = 2,504 German students, political efficacy, along with meaningful outcome variables (i.e., political information behavior, political knowledge, and interest in politics), was measured at 2 measurement points, once in Grade 7 and once in Grade 10. Students' mean levels of political efficacy increased from the first to the second measurement point, and boys consistently displayed higher levels. Political efficacy demonstrated reciprocal relations to political information behavior and political knowledge, and showed a unidirectional relation to interest in politics across time. The pattern of outcome relations was invariant across gender. This study contributes to research and theory on political socialization in adolescence as it outlines temporal relations among, and gender differences in, facets of political socialization. Therefore, this study also offers new practical insights into effectively facilitating political education in adolescent students. (PsycINFO Database Record

“…There are three types of evidence: low convergence of identity statuses across domains (Fadjukoff, Pulkinen, & Kokko, 2005Goossens, 2001;Solomontos-Kountouri & Hurry, 2008); different developmental trajectories for different domains (Fadjukoff, Pulkinen, & Kokko, 2005Hardy et al, 2010); and identity status in particular domains demonstrates different relations to demographic and psychosocial variables, such as gender, type of school, socio-economic status (Goossens, 2001;Pastorino et al, 1997;Solomontos-Kountouri & Hurry, 2008), and community and religious involvement (Hardy et al, 2010). Given this evidence, assessment of domain-specific identity statuses, either alone or in addition to global identity statuses, is recommended by several authors (e.g., De Haan & Schulenberg, 1997;Goossens, 2001;Hardy et al, 2010;Schwartz, Luyckx, & Crocetti, 2015;Solomontos-Kountouri & Hurry, 2008). McLean, Syed, Yoder, and Greenhoot (2016) contend that it is imprudent to examine processes of identity development in domains that are irrelevant to the people being studied.…”

This study presents a construction and psychometric evaluation of the Religious Identity Status Questionnaire -RISQ for the assessment of the religious identity status according to Marcia's ego identity status approach. The initial item pool was generated based on Erikson's theory of psychosocial development, Marcia's ego identity status approach and interviews with adolescents and young adults. A factor analysis of the initial item pool was performed on data obtained from a sample of 394 secondary school and university students from Serbia to select items for the questionnaire. Validity of the questionnaire was examined on a sample of 1155 subjects. The results of the CFA suggest that subscales of the RISQ measure four factors corresponding to the identity statuses of Marcia's model. Correlations with ideological identity subscales of the EOM-EIS-2 suggest the convergent validity of the questionnaire. Configural measurement invariance was established for gender and denominational groups. Metric invariance was established for gender and among orthodox and catholic participants, whereas scalar invariance was established for gender, but not for denominational groups. Highlights:• The RISQ is based on Marcia's ego identity status model. and allows the assessment of religious ego identity status. • Results support construct and convergent validity of the RISQ. • Gender groups show full scalar invariance, while only configural invariance is supported for denominational groups.
