人们有很强的动机来维持一个连贯一致的自我概念。对许多人来说，宗教是社会身份的核心来源，但其重要性在整个生命过程中容易发生戏剧性的变化。为了保持对自我的一致感知，对自己过去宗教信仰的回忆可能会改变，以更好地适应现在。本研究探讨了早期和中期成年之间的变化，在回顾性的看法，宗教行为和身份在童年。来自基于人群的出生队列样本的数据与来自参与至少三项成人随访研究中的两项的个体的数据相匹配，间隔约为10年。采用逻辑回归分析儿童行为和身份的最终回忆与以前的回忆和当前的宗教特征的关联。与时间自我评价理论的预测一致，参与者对儿童宗教身份的看法往往会随着时间的推移而改变，以匹配他们成年后的宗教身份。童年宗教行为的回忆比宗教身份的回忆更稳定，并且变化与成人行为无关。这些结果具有影响，研究宗教特征，使用回顾性措施，关于他们的准确性和他们的独立性，从当代的措施。
People have a strong motivation to maintain a self-concept that is coherent and consistent over time. Religion is an central source of social identity for many people, but its importance is prone to dramatic change across the life course. To maintain a consistent perception of self, recollections of one’s own past religiousness may shift to better fit with the present. This study examined changes between early and middle adulthood in retrospective perceptions of religious behavior and identity in childhood. Data from a population-based birth cohort sample were matched with data from individuals who participated in at least two of three adult follow-up studies, at intervals of approximately 10 years. Logistic regression was used to analyze the association of final recollections of childhood behavior and identity with previous recollections and current religious characteristics. Consistent with the predictions of temporal self-appraisal theory, participants’ perception of their religious identity as children tended to change over time to match their adult religious identity. Recollections of childhood religious behavior were more stable than recollections of religious identity, and change was unrelated to adult behavior. These results have implications for studying religious characteristics using retrospective measures, regarding their accuracy and their independence from contemporary measures.
