About the project
An empirical study based on mixed-method, to explore if there are clear factors in childhood / adolescence / young adulthood that seems to be of particular importance to a belief that remains and defines life into adulthood. What factors seem to increase the likelihood that belief will both exist, and be perceived as fundamental in life? The primary focus group in this study will be adults aged 30-40, with a representative breadth in terms of geography in Norway, gender, and religious influence in childhood.
