Off-road religion? A narrative approach to fundamentalist and occult orientations of adolescents
Article Abstract:
Case studies provided information on Christian fundamentalist converts and de-converts and on occultist adolescents, concentrating on life themes and biographical processes. Typologies of Christian fundamentalist biographies and ways of disenchantment were contrasted, suggesting that obligation to a tradition is no longer a model for religious socialization. A typology of religious style is applied as an interpretive framework to explain the formation of fundamentalist orientations and to understand transformation in religious biographies.

Effects of religiosity and racial socialization on subjective stigmatization in African-American adolescents
Article Abstract:
African-American adolescents were studied to determine the direct effects of religiosity and racial socialization on subjective stigmatization. Those who showed strong commitment to the church were more destigmatized than those who did not. Those who received racial socialization message were more destigmatized than those who did not, and the more racial socialization messages received the more self-stigmatized the participants were.
