| Summary: | Nach einer Definition und Charakterisierung von Dekonversion stellt dieses Buch 21 Fallstudien sowie quantitative Ergebnisse von über 1000 Versuchspersonen vor, die an der Bielefelder kulturvergleichenden Studie über Dekonversion teilgenommen haben. - This book presents case studies and empirical data of a phenomenon which increasingly gains popularity in Western societies: deconversion. There is, the authors argue, no better word than deconversion to describe processes of disengagement from religious orientations because these have much in common with conversion. Termination of membership may eventually be the final step of deconversion, but it involves biographical and psychological dynamics which can and need to be reconstructed by qualitative approaches and analyzed by quantitative instruments. |
