| Summary: | A qualitative study was conducted to explore spiritual development in adolescents, particularly as intertwined with Openness to Experience and social contexts characterized by openness. A religiously and ethnically heterogeneous sample of adolescents (N = 130) completed in-depth, semi-structured interviews, which were analyzed using a Grounded Theory approach. The contribution of openness to spiritual development in adolescents was interpreted at the level of the self, family, and peer group. Implications of the findings are understood against the extant literature on adolescent development. |
