Abstract
Factors such as religion and spirituality influence identity formation. Though parents serve as the primary influence on identity in childhood, the search for identity becomes more independent as adolescence progresses. Upon departure from the parent's home, factors outside the family, including peers and the media, take on greater influence. Undergraduate students (N = 100) were surveyed regarding religion and spirituality in relation to media consumption, gender and communication with parents, and selection of a religious versus secular college. Positive results were indicated for religious identification and use of religious and spiritual media, as well as for communication with parents about religion and spirituality. Additionally, religious identification was apositive factor for selecting a religious college.
