Zusammenfassung
Der Beitrag berichtet über die Ergebnisse einer dreijährigen Studie (2009-2012) an der Universität Warwick, in der Einstellungen 13-16jähriger Schülerinnen und Schüler zu religiöser Diversität in Großbritannien und zu den Faktoren, die diese Einstellungen formen, erhoben wurden. Mit Hilfe qualitativer und quantitativer Daten schließt das Projekt eine Forschungslücke in diesem Bereich. In theoretischer Hinsicht will der Beitrag zum Nachdenken über das Verständnis von religiöser Diversität anregen; hierzu werden zentrale Einsichten aus den qualitativen Daten präsentiertund in ausgewählte quantitative Resultate eingebettet.
This chapter reports findings from a three-year study (2009–2012) at the University of Warwick, which investigated the attitudes of 13–16 year-old pupils towards religious diversity across the four nations of the UK and London. Applying both qualitative and quantitative research methods, this project sought to close a gap in research about young people’s attitudes to religious diversity and the factors that shape their attitudes. Drawing on theoretical approaches to multiculturalism and plurality, this chapter contributes to theoretical thinking on the notion of religious diversity and presents themes arising from the qualitative data and supplements these by some quantitative results.
