Students' Attitudes toward Interfaith Relationships: The Impact of Parents, Religiosity, and Christian Privilege
Mehrotra, Meeta; Zemba, Stephanie; Hoffman, Kristi
Journal of College and Character, v22 n1 p31-45 2021
Dating across religious lines is becoming more common in the United States, especially among young adults, suggesting greater acceptance of interfaith relationships. Although college is a place where young adults encounter diversity, little is known about students' attitudes toward interfaith dating. Thirty-seven students were divided into five focus group sessions and asked to describe their views, experiences, and apprehensions about interfaith relationships. Key factors influencing students' attitudes were parental disapproval, religiosity, and Christian privilege. Based on our findings, we provide college educators with recommendations for programs and activities that foster interfaith dialogue and religious literacy among students.
