Young adults in relationships and singles: religiosity and the structure of values. Issue 4 (1st October 2020) - Czyżowska, Dorota
ABSTRACT: The study aims to investigate the differences concerning the religiosity (understood as the placement of religious constructs in the structure of a personality) and value system of young adults who are married, people in non-formalized relationships, and singles. The participants of the study were 321 women and 302 men aged 22 to 42 (45% singles, 55% in relationships). The results of the research prove significant differences regarding the religiosity and preferred values between married people and those living in informal relationships. There are more differences between these groups than between singles and those living in marital and informal relationships. Consequently, it seems important to differentiate between formalized and non-formalized relationships.
