“…Moreover, in light of the generally pluralistic-religious situation of contemporary society (Streib, 2003), it is possible that variations in religious gender differences within as well as between religious communities may exist. However, religious subgroup gender differences have not yet been fully explored due to broad research scopes (e.g., Smith & Snell, 2009), inclusive analyses (e.g., Arnett & Jensen, 2002), and the omission of the information from demographic questionnaires (e.g., Milevsky & Leh, 2008). Furthermore, it has been suggested that religious measures may be differentially sensitive to levels of religious activity as expressed by differing religious subgroups in addition to religious affiliation (Loewenthal, MacLeod, & Cinnirella, 2002;Stoppa & Lefkowitz, 2010).…”

This article explores gender differences in the religious experiences of 416 Jewish (Secular, Traditional, and Modern-Orthodox) emerging adults (M Age = 23.16). Prior research has indicated that women are more religious than men cross-culturally. The purpose of this study was to investigate if such gender differences remain applicable to Jewish-American emerging adults given both the changing role of women in society and emerging adults' prolonged search for identity. Findings reveal that most gender differences in the religious values and experiences of Jewish-American emerging adults are statistically insignificant and when significant, are specific to subgroup. Furthermore, it was found that gender analyses of composite scores do not necessarily accurately report the presence or lack thereof of gender differences in religious development. It is therefore suggested that future research may benefit from the analysis of individual religious items and that efforts be made to explore within-group and between-group differences.

“…In this research, religion is viewed as a set of beliefs, rituals and behavioural codes in life considered to be sacred by their followers. Milevsky and Levitt (2004) are of the opinion that it would be interesting to examine religiosity in adolescence and recent reports (e.g., Milevsky & Leh, 2008) documented the importance of religiosity in the lives of adolescents and young adults. Cotton, McGrady, and Rosenthal (2010) explained that unique developmental changes in cognitive, social and emotional aspects influence the expression of religiosity or spirituality in adolescents.…”

The aim of this study was to find out methods of coping used most frequently by Kurdish adolescents and to investigate the relationship of methods of coping with their level of religiosity and gender. A convenience sample of 171 secondary school students, selfidentified as Muslims, took part in answering two sets of questionnaires: methods of coping and religious commitment. Means, standard deviations, t-test and Pearson Correlation Coefficients were used to analyse the data. Results of the study suggest that the method of coping used most frequently by the sample was spiritual connection while passivity and avoidance were the least used methods of coping. Religiosity was correlated with all other methods of coping except seeking social support and passivity. Girls used avoidance and passivity for coping more than boys did. Kurdish Muslim adolescents use various methods to cope with problems they face. Counsellors in secondary schools should pay more attention to maladaptive methods of coping particularly among girl adolescents.

“…Specifically, when emerging adults and their mothers report higher levels of spiritual disclosure, they also tend to experience higher levels of relationship satisfaction, conflict resolution strategies, and general disclosure (Brelsford and Mahoney 2008). Similarly, Milevsky and Leh (2008) found that both mother and father support was related to emerging adults' religious activity and importance.…”

Reliability refers to a measure's consistency. A measure's reliability rests on the extent to which it yields the same result on repeated trials. Reliability is of significance in that, without it, the results of research lack replicability, which is a foundation of the scientific method. Reliability cannot be calculated exactly. As a result, it is a correlation of an item, scale, or instrument with a hypothetical one that truly measures what it is supposed to. That is what is meant by calculations of reliability being estimates of reliability. There are many ways to calculate estimates, and each provides a different view of reliability. Although there are many ways to estimate reliability, four ways are particularly common (Carmines and Zeller 1991; Fink 1995). First, internal consistency is a way to provide a reliability estimation that is based on grouping questions in a questionnaire that measure the same concept. The most common way to measure internal consistency is to use Cronbach's Alpha which, in brief, splits a measure's questions on in every possible way and computes correlation values for all of them. As with any correlation, the closer to 1 it is, the more internally reliable the measure is estimated to be. Second, split-half reliability provides reliability estimation that is based on the correlation of two equivalent forms of the scale; the Spearman-Brown coefficient typically is used to determine this type of estimate. Third, testretest reliability provides an estimation based on the correlation between multiple administrations of the same measure (or parts of it); and this method also makes use of the Spearman Brown coefficient. Lastly, inter-rater reliability is an estimation based on correlations of scores between two or more raters who answer the same measure (or parts of it). These four typical methods represent different meanings of reliability, and some studies use multiple approaches depending on what they are trying to estimate.
