Contains fulltext : 99772.pdf (publisher's version ) (Closed access), This study was designed to explore the effect of authoritative parenting, over and above the effect of explicitly religious parenting practices, on the juvenile and adult church attendance of offspring. Data were collected as part of a panel study in which 474 Dutch respondents were questioned in 1983 as youths and in 2007 as adults. In 2007 the respondents retrospectively answered questions about how they were raised by their parents. Analyses revealed that juvenile church attendance depends mainly on parental and more specifically on maternal church attendance, whereas adult church attendance is largely an outcome of juvenile church attendance. No effects of an authoritative parenting style, that is, a simultaneous effect of responsiveness, strict control, and the granting of psychological autonomy as the three dimensions of authoritative parenting distinguished in this study, were observed. Only the dimension of strict control turned out to be a negative determinant of adult church attendance.

Contains fulltext : 72819.pdf (publisher's version ) (Closed access), Social scientific studies from the secular Netherlands has pointed out that religious rituals such as praying are still widely present. This study examines the content of the praying practices of the Dutch and distinguishes varieties of prayer by analyzing answers to open-ended questions of a representative Dutch survey (N = 1,008). It is concluded, first, that a majority of the Dutch prays. Second, four varieties of prayer are distinguished: petitionary, religious, meditative, and impulsive prayer. Comparing these varieties with types of prayer found in other empirical studies, it emerges that the petitionary and religious prayer are similar to classical prayers found in other studies from less secularized countries, whereas the meditative and impulsive prayers are fundamentally different from other prayer types and can be considered as examples of a praying practice in a secularized society.

RU Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen, 19 oktober 2007, Promotores : Scheepers, P.L.H., Janssen, J.A.P.J., Item does not contain fulltext, Religions stress the importance of solidarity and brotherhood of man. However, believers do not necessarily conform to these moral standards. Specific kinds of religiosity may relate to specific kinds of solidarity to specific targets. Moreover, the motives religious people have for their prosocial behaviour may not be altruistic. This book examines to what extent different aspects of religiosity are related to different kinds and targets of solidarity. Cross-national comparisons of surveys in several European countries are used to explore the relationships between religiosity on the one hand and on the other hand willingness to donate to charity as well as volunteering for religious and non-religious organisations. The relationships between religiosity and informal, direct helping behaviours to different people are studied with a national Dutch survey. Motives for prosocial behaviour are investigated with a combination of survey and experimental techniques

RU Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen, 29 augustus 2007, Promotores : Janssen, J.A.P.J., Scheepers, P.L.H., Contains fulltext : 56672.pdf (publisher's version ) (Open Access), This thesis addresses my PhD project that was carried out at the Radboud University in Nijmegen (the Netherlands). The project is a continuation of the ongoing research programme, headed by Jacques Janssen, on praying practices. The aim of present study is twofold, (1) to describe the praying practices of the Dutch, and (2) to investigate why people pray in a secularised society. First, we examined the praying frequency of the Dutch population (SOCON, social and cultural developments in the Netherlands, N = 1008), and administered six open-ended questions about praying: what is praying to you?, and why, how, with which aim, where and when do you pray? Finally, we administered a prayer inventory and coping questionnaire to examine the relation between religious coping and varieties of prayer. Taken together, the findings showed that praying behaviour is a widespread religious activity among the Dutch population, in spite of the decline in church membership and church attendance. Furthermore, four types of praying were distinguished: two traditional prayer types, the religious and petitionary prayer, and two more individualised, spiritual, or non-institutionalised types, the meditative and impulsive prayer. As regards the reasons why praying behaviour may survive in a secularised society, we found first, that religious socialisation plays an important role in transmitting traditionally religious behaviour, whereas it plays no role with respect to contemporary religious behaviour. Subsequently, it emerged that praying is related to religious coping. In addition, various types of praying are related to various coping styles. Hence, we conclude that praying may have a psychological function to people, particularly when confronted with existential problems of life. In that case, people develop a way to prayer, not related to a religious institution, but a way that fits their individualised needs.

Contains fulltext : 55214.pdf (publisher's version ) (Closed access), The applicability of religiosity measures among people who are not affiliated to a church is an important prerequisite for its use in religiously heterogeneous populations. This paper provides a confirmatory factor analysis of Intrinsic, Extrinsic and Quest (IEQ) religiosity measures and Glock’s religiosity dimensions among church members and non-members. Moreover, it shows correlations between IEQ and Glock’s dimensions. A three-factor solution of IEQ religiosity is found for both groups. Factor loadings were comparable between groups. Although theoretically fine, high inter-factor correlations question the empirical usefulness of the IEQ distinction for non-member samples. Glock’s dimensions are also comparable between groups and correlate strongest with Intrinsic and Extrinsic but weakly with Quest religiosity. The results stress the complementary characteristics of both perspectives on religiosity.
