Abstract | The aim of this paper is to clarify the mechanism behind the transmission of religious beliefs from parents to children in Sōka Gakkai, a new religious movement. In the course of the study, multiple regression analysis was carried out using survey data from second-generation, active members of Sōka Gakkai (sg) living in Sapporo, Japan. The results revealed that the mother’s degree of religiosity, level of participation in sg youth groups, age, and gender all had a significant influence on the degree of religious devotion during the middle school years of respondents. In other words, the more enthusiastic the mother’s devotion to her religion, the more continuously they participate in youth groups, and the older they were (and women to a higher degree than men), the more likely the religion is to be transmitted to the second generation. Moreover, one interesting difference between men and women became clear: the quality of family relationships does not have a significant effect on men but does on women. For the reasons mentioned above, it can be concluded that gender elements must be taken into account when analyzing the intergenerational transmission of new religions. |
