Abstract

The author is conducting a comparative enquiry into the values and the behaviour of young people aged between 16 and 18 years (random sample of 702 French-speaking Belgians) and their parents. He describes the differences between the young people surveyed in both 1977 and 1982, The religious disengagement which is described is explained by some main variables such as the influence of the family and of the school. These direct factors of socialisation, operationalized by the questionnaire, also depend on recent cultural and historical changes and are related to the macro-sociological context.
