[Religiosity and Rituals. Empirical Studies on East German Youth]
This book deals with rituals of young people in the non-denominational context of Eastern Germany. It explores the psychological functions of these rituals as well as the possible religious experiences which can occur therewith. For this purpose a questionnaire survey based on interviews with 400 young people was undertaken. A key result is that adolescents during the practice of rituals can make religious experiences that are conceptualized as a relation to a superhuman power. However, there are differences between religious and non-religious rituals in regard of processes of self-reflection, identity-building and regulation of emotions.
