Preferred term

religiosity and resilience in adolescence  

Definition

  • Interest in adolescence, a time marked by psychological and physical changes, has generated more than 16 theories to explain the content, meaning, and sequelae of this developmental period (Muuss, 1996). One, Fowler's theory (1981) of faith development, parallels Erikson's (1968) notions about identity crisis, that is, adolescence as a time characterized by numerous questions about identity in relation to faith.
