Title of project:
Characteristics of Converters to, and Deconverters from, Traditional Religious Beliefs and Behaviours
Proposal summary:
Our Co-investigator, Ralph Hood, has undertaken studies of individuals who have left their religion and those who have stayed or converted using longitudinal data in two countries – Germany and the USA. ALSPAC provides a valuable data set to investigate whether the factors that predict such events are similar in the UK, and whether the individual that makes such a change benefits psychologically in the longer term.
Impact of research:
Difficult to say until we have completed the analyses.
