A New Dimension of the Youth Culture
Abstract
Focusing on 17 college students who experienced what they called “religious conversion,” the author explores the recent perplexing religious preoccupation among youth. He describes the onset of this phenomenon, delineates its social and psychological determinants, traces its relationship to the drug culture, and, comparing the functioning of these students before and after conversion, discusses whether the experience promotes adaptation or tends to be isolating and destructive.
