Abstract

ABSTRACT Adolescence is a period of exceptional sensitivity to the ideals that are subject to verification. Therefore, a phenomenon of deconversion (i.e. abandonment of religion) is observed among adolescents. The paper aims to analyze deconversion and its connections with the identity formation as well as mediators and moderators of these relationships. Participants were 272 adolescents aged between 14 and 18. Three scales were used: the Circumplex Identity Modes Questionnaire, the Internal Dialogical Activity Scale-Revised, and the Adolescent Deconversion Scale. We found that identity modes such as moratorivity, diffusion, and defiance are positively related to deconversion, whereas socialization and normativity are negatively related to deconversion. The negative relationships between normativity and deconversion exist if the parent (especially mother) is assessed as religious or very religious. Moreover, internal dialogs moderate and mediate links between different identity modes and dimensions of deconversion.

青少年的反解构与认同形成:内在对话与父母宗教信仰的作用

摘要青春期是一个对有待验证的理想异常敏感的时期。因此，在青少年中观察到一种解除信仰（即放弃宗教）的现象。本文旨在分析去转换及其与身份形成的联系，以及这些关系的中介和调节者。参与者是272名年龄在14至18岁之间的青少年。使用了三种量表：周边认同模式问卷、内部对话活动量表修订版和青少年解构量表。我们发现，暂停、扩散和反抗等身份模式与去转化呈正相关，而社会化和规范性与去转化负相关。如果父母（尤其是母亲）被评估为宗教或非常宗教，那么规范性和去规范性之间就会存在负面关系。此外，内部对话缓和并调解不同身份模式和解除转换维度之间的联系。
