| Summary: | This paper is about worldview, value and identity formation, religious socialization and education taking place in different societal settings in Finland and across age groups. The theoretical framework is built around the concept of a worldview combining the theories of attitudes, values and identity. The discussion is mainly based on the results of four research projects conducted among Finnish children and young people: (1) a longitudinal research on the worldview formation of suburban young people from childhood to adulthood; (2) a comparative research on value shifts in young people in times of economic recession; (3) a research on social capital and identity and (4) values and youth transitions. The results of these empirical studies are based on qualitative and quantitative data sets and mixed methods. Applying theories of value and identity with the bioecological model of human development through the life-course the paper discusses worldview formation and religious types of worldview associated with the cognitive development, social learning and socialization of young people. The process of worldview formation, future orientation and ethical action competence of young people is discussed within the frame of socialization and education. |
