Weitergabe und Wandel von Werten in der Adoleszenz: Biographieanalytische Perspektiven auf freikirchliche russlanddeutsche Familien
摘要
This article examines how family-based values and religious beliefs are transmitted and transformed within the dynamics of pluralization and secularization. It centers on young women from evangelical Russian-German families, reconstructing their biographical conceptions of life and self through narrative interviews. Grounded in value-theoretical perspectives that understand values as identity-forming and action-guiding visions of a good life, the analysis uncovers a marked continuity of familial influence. Two distinct patterns of value transmission emerge, shaped less by the specific values than by the modes of their familial embedding and communication. Religious faith is most often retained and functionally reframed, serving both as a coping resource in navigating societal expectations for autonomous life planning and as a domain reshaped by these very expectations. The study offers new empirical insights into the biographical evolution of values during adolescence in the intersecting contexts of family, migration, and religion.
