An Influence of Religious Rural Families in Serbia on the Foramtion of Religious Beliefs of the YOung Generation
Miroslav Ahtik
Abstract
This article is based on empirical investigation carried out in 1968. The author
tried to examine the correlation between the influence of religious family environment
and the formation of religious beliefs of young generations. His starting
hypothesis was that beliefs are resulting from a collective image of a Family
environment and a social environment as a whole, too.
In the first part of this article, the author explicates the applied methodological
procedure and in the second part the results of this investigations. His
enquiry embraced 955 young people. At first he analyses those young people he
interviewed, whose both parents are religious, then those ones whose parents »do
not believe at all.«
At the end the author comes to the conclusion that young generations have not
been under the influence of their parents, at least concerning the religious beliefs
and even in such a case where both parents were religious.
