Scholars recently conceptualized ages 30–45 as a distinct stage of development called established adulthood. One important area that may be especially relevant and influential at this age stage is religiosity as it may influence established adults’ values, beliefs, and practices. At the same time, there is a dearth of research on established adulthood, especially in Black Jamaican families. Given the high prevalence of female-headed households in Jamaica, Black Jamaican established adult women’s perspectives on the role of religion in their lives is a rich area for exploration. The purpose of this study was to explore how Black Jamaican established adult women make sense of the influences of religion on their lives and development. Using framework analysis, semi-structured interviews with 20 Black Jamaican established adult women with multiple roles (e.g., mother, spouse, and employee) were analyzed. The data mapped onto three major themes: (a) the exposure of religion, (b) reactions to early religious experiences, and (c) how religion changed and guided established adult women’s lives. These themes revealed that relational agency was important in religious development. Also, from both the lifespan and life-course perspectives on religious development, the findings reflected equifinality and multifinality in the Black Jamaican established adult women’s lives, including their, values, beliefs, and practices. Implications for individuals, families, and communities are discussed.

宗教对成熟成年女性生活和发展的影响:牙买加黑人女性的观点

学者们最近将 30-45 岁概念化为一个独特的发展阶段,称为成熟的成年期。在这个年龄阶段可能特别相关和有影响力的一个重要领域是宗教信仰,因为它可能会影响已确立的成年人的价值观、信仰和实践。与此同时,缺乏对成熟成年的研究,尤其是在牙买加黑人家庭中。鉴于牙买加女性户主家庭的普遍性,黑人牙买加人确立了成年女性对宗教在其生活中的作用的看法,这是一个值得探索的丰富领域。本研究的目的是探索牙买加黑人成年女性如何理解宗教对她们生活和发展的影响。使用框架分析,对 20 名具有多种角色(例如,母亲、配偶和雇员)的黑人牙买加成年女性进行的半结构化访谈进行了分析。这些数据映射到三个主要主题:(a) 宗教的暴露,(b) 对早期宗教经历的反应,以及 (c) 宗教如何改变和指导成熟的成年女性的生活。这些主题表明关系代理在宗教发展中很重要。此外,从宗教发展的生命周期和生命历程的角度来看,研究结果反映了牙买加黑人确立的成年女性生活的平等性和多重性,包括她们的价值观、信仰和实践。讨论了对个人、家庭和社区的影响。(b) 对早期宗教经历的反应,以及 (c) 宗教如何改变和指导成熟的成年女性的生活。这些主题表明关系代理在宗教发展中很重要。此外,从宗教发展的生命周期和生命历程的角度来看,研究结果反映了牙买加黑人确立的成年女性生活的平等性和多重性,包括她们的价值观、信仰和实践。讨论了对个人、家庭和社区的影响。(b) 对早期宗教经历的反应,以及 (c) 宗教如何改变和指导成熟的成年女性的生活。这些主题表明关系代理在宗教发展中很重要。此外,从宗教发展的生命周期和生命历程的角度来看,研究结果反映了牙买加黑人确立的成年女性生活的平等性和多重性,包括她们的价值观、信仰和实践。讨论了对个人、家庭和社区的影响。调查结果反映了牙买加黑人确立的成年女性生活中的平等性和多重性,包括她们的价值观、信仰和实践。讨论了对个人、家庭和社区的影响。调查结果反映了牙买加黑人确立的成年女性生活中的平等性和多重性,包括她们的价值观、信仰和实践。讨论了对个人、家庭和社区的影响。
