| Summary: | Father - mother - youth triads were asked to complete surveys showing amount of agreement with religious value statements. From twenty-one churches randomly selected from Seventh-day Adventist congregations in the United States, 712 individual surveys were received (218 triads and 29 dyads). A Value Attitude Scale was constructed from twenty of the items. Significant differences were found between the youth and their parents on the Value Attitude Scale and the majority of the individual items showing that the mothers were the most traditional, followed by the fathers, with the youth being the least traditional. However, the youth were also significantly correlated with their parents on the Value Attitude Scale and the majority of the items with correlations between youth and mothers being somewhat stronger than between youth and fathers. A multiple regression analysis revealed that it was possible to predict about 27% of the variance in the youth Value Attitude scores by an equation containing Value Attitude scores of the mothers and the fathers as well as whether or not the youth were actually baptized members of the congregation. |
