- W2340861548 abstract "Emerging adulthood, a distinctive period of transition occurring between the ages of 18 and 29, allows individuals to examine the possibilities open to them and gradually arrive at more enduring choices in love, work, and worldviews (Arnett, 2000, p. XX). As part of this general stage of exploration, individuals often question their religious beliefs, transform and develop new ones, and arrive at a new configuration that reflects their personally owned commitments to religious institutions and (Fowler, 1981; Parks, 2011). Our current research explores changes in religiousness and spirituality among samples of highly religious emerging adults, examining their formation while in or soon after graduation from a Christian college.College has become a normative experience for emerging adults (U. S. Department of Education National Center for Education Statistics, 2014). Recent research indicates significant, often positive changes in spirituality during the undergraduate years (Astin, Astin, & Lindholm, 2010; Freitas, 2008; Glanzer, Hill, & Ream, 2014; Lindholm, 2007). However, less is known about change after college. The time between college graduation and adulthood is a stressful one for many (Hettich, 2010), although most emerging adults do well and settle down soon after college, generally by their mid-20s (Arnett, 2000; Murphy, Blustein, Bohlig, & Platt, 2010). The current studies first explore whether religious commitment is stable during the post-college years, which have earlier been documented as particularly stressful and marked by transition. At the same time, we explore the undergraduate years, asking whether Christian colleges support the formation of their students. In the third study, we revisit the undergraduate years, seeking more information about religion and spirituality.Research on adolescents suggests that a majority (60%) regularly participate in religious activities and most hold positive attitudes toward organized religion (Smith, Faris, Denton, & Regnerus, 2003). Approximately one quarter of the late adolescent population self-identify as evangelical Christian (Smith et al., 2003). Religious beliefs appear to be less common in emerging adulthood, and as many as two-thirds of emerging adults may be moral relativists, agnostics, or skeptics (Smith, Christoffersen, Davidson, & Herzog, 2011). Exploring their ethics indicates that about 20% of emerging adults live by an ethic of Divinity, which defines the individual as a spiritual entity, subject to the prescriptions of a or natural order (Arnett, Ramos, & Jensen, 2001, p. 70). In contrast, in an ethic of Autonomy the individual is the primary moral authority, or in an ethic of Community individuals are defined as members of groups to which they have commitments and obligations (Arnett et al., 2001; Shweder, Much, Mahapatra, & Park, 1997). Nevertheless, among emerging adults, 8 of 10 reported on a national survey that religion is somewhat to very important in their (Harvard Institute of Politics 2014) and, among those in higher education, 75% reported searching for meaning/purpose in life and 80% reported believing in God or a higher power (Higher Education Research Institute, 2004). Religious participation does appear to drop off significantly during emerging adulthood (Barry & Abo-Zena, 2014; Lefkowitz, 2005), and as few as 5-10% of emerging adults enter college and practice their (Smith & Snell, 2009).Much of the literature indicates that emerging adults move away from their earlier that they had learned from their parents and communities to a more individualized faith, with their own beliefs (Arnett & Jensen, 2002). For many young people, according to Smith and Denton (2005) a parasitic, watered-down faith (p. 62) has emerged in which God is viewed as something like a Divine Butler and Cosmic Therapist: he's always on call, takes care of any problems, professionally helps people feel better about themselves, and does not become too involved in the process (p 165). …" @default.
