Changes in religiosity, problem behavior, and their friends' religiosity over a 2-year period were assessed in a sample of five hundred and fifty-nine 15-year-old Indonesian Muslim adolescents. Adolescents self-reported their religiosity, problem behavior, and friendships; the religiosity of mutual friends came from friends' self-reports. A parallel process analysis of growth curves showed that adolescents' religiosity trajectories covaried with both problem behavior and friends' religiosity. Using a cross-lagged model in which prior levels were controlled, religiosity at 10th and 11th grades predicted friends' religiosity 1 year later, suggesting that adolescents select friends of similar religiosity. This study provides evidence that religion is intertwined with other aspects of adolescent development and illustrates the importance of contextualizing adolescent religiosity within an ecological framework.
在一项对 559 名 15 岁印度尼西亚穆斯林青少年的研究中，评估了他们在两年期间宗教信仰、问题行为及其朋友宗教信仰的变化。青少年自我报告了他们的宗教信仰、问题行为和友谊；共同朋友的宗教信仰来自朋友的自我报告。对增长曲线的平行过程分析表明，青少年的宗教信仰轨迹与问题行为和朋友的宗教信仰相关。在前一个水平得到控制的情况下，使用交叉滞后模型，10 年级和 11 年级的宗教信仰预测了 1 年后朋友的宗教信仰，这表明青少年选择了具有相似宗教信仰的朋友。这项研究提供了证据，表明宗教与青少年发展的其他方面交织在一起，并说明了在生态框架内将青少年的宗教信仰具体化的重要性。
