“…All 20 women were interviewed by the second author using a Thematic Life Story Interview (Hadad & Schachter, ; Schachter, ; Schwab, ). Interviewees are asked to narrate their life story in general while also relating, along the general storyline, anything that has to do with a particular theme (for details and prompt, see Appendix in the online Supporting Information).…”

“…Parents choosing public schools can choose between religious and nonreligious schools, mostly segregated by gender. Studies have shown that tensions between traditional, modern, and postmodern values can challenge religious adolescents' identity formation (Hadad & Schachter, 2011;Schachter, 2005).…”

We present a rationale and method for taking an idiographic approach to study the role religion plays in adolescent development. We theorize that adolescents harness qualitatively different aspects of religion to address idiosyncratic developmental needs. Therefore, analyzing religion's role in adolescent development necessitates a case‐by‐case holistic analysis. We introduce a systematic method using narratives to identify the personal ways that individuals attribute meaning in general and regarding religion in particular. We present three detailed case studies from a sample of 20 religious Israeli Jewish Orthodox emerging‐adult women who provided retrospective narrative accounts of their general and religious development through adolescence. Systematic analysis reveals that religion was significant to these women in diverse and personal ways, addressing markedly different adolescent developmental needs.

“…Another issue with existing literature is the lack of distinction between extrinsic versus intrinsic religiosity and their impact on risk-behavior. Research on religiosity has long identified distinctive characteristics and influences distinguishing extrinsic and intrinsic religiosity (Allport & Ross, 1967;Davie, 1994;Hadad & Schachter, 2011;Kirkpatrick, 1988;Vitell, Paolillo, & Singh, 2005). Finally, existing studies have not considered the impact of religiosity on a broad range of youth risky behavior.…”

This study explores the impact of intrinsic versus extrinsic religiosity on youth risk‐taking behaviors in Indonesia. Our analysis on Indonesians aged 18–24 shows that intrinsic religiosity has a significant impact on individual's perception of risk‐taking. Understanding the significant role that intrinsic religiosity plays in the lives of youth and their risk‐taking behaviors offers new ways to promote responsibility and risk‐free behavior. We argue that, rather than distancing from religiosity, spirituality and faith, social marketers and public policy makers should be working closely with religious institutions to enact social change among the youth.

A country that has no state religion demands that government institutions shall not take on a particular religion as their main. Makerere University being a government institution is committed to recognising and treating equally all people from the religious divide. This article explores the relationship between University policies and students' right to religion. Focusing mainly on students wearing religious symbols, being availed physical places of worship, and having days of worship free of other academic programmes, the study explores a conflict between policies and the right to religion. It concludes that a positive attitude should be developed that religious symbols not only regulate students' behaviour but also identify them with their religions; doing justice to all in a pluralistic society demands that all or none is catered for by the university as regards providing a place of worship; and university and religious groups should make flexible programmes to enable students who fail to attend at some hours to do on other hours.
