Abstract

The present study explores the factors that relate to attachment of bonding to the religious community. Two questionnaires were used in a quantitative analysis: Parental Bonding Instrument (modified), and the Valuegenesis survey. The findings revealed that bonding factors for Adventist young people can be determined. A reliable bonding scale was constructed from six items measuring commitment to Jesus, religious faith, the local congregation, and the denomination as well as frequency of attendance at worship services. The scale had a reliability alpha of .81 with item scale correlations ranging from .45 to .72. All but one correlation were significant at the p .001 level.
