| Summary: | Seventy-eight apostates and 78 controls (matched on dimensions of background religion, sex, age, and year in university) responded to a 12 page questionnaire exploring possible explanations of apostasy. While findings indicated that apostates differed from controls with respect to current religiosity and early religious socialization, little or no evidence was found to support previous suggestions of differences in political orientation, intellectualism, academic orientation, adjustment and happiness in life, personality, or general rebellion against parents. Some differences were found with respect to relationships with parents and current parental attitudes. It is suggested that the results are consistent with a social learning interpretation of apostasy, but further work is necessary particularly in exploring other aspects of religious socialization. |
