Transmission of Religion across Generations - Project Description
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The research project “The Transmission of Religion Across Generations: A Comparative International Study of Continuities and Discontinuities in Family Socialization” aims to understand the transmission of religiosity and non-religiosity across generations in Europe and Canada. We anticipate being able to provide a better explanation of religious change itself, and a more precise theory of religious change across generations. Drawing on quantitative and qualitative data, we will use a mixed-methods approach that combines the strengths of both methodological paradigms. Main questions: 1.) How does the transmission or non-transmission of faith, values and worldviews take place within families and across generations? 2.) What are the main factors in the successful (or non-successful) transmission of faith in different cultural contexts? 3.) How does religiosity change in the process of transmission? The project is financed by means of the John Templeton Foundation from October 2019 to June 2022 and will be carried out in cooperation between researchers from - the University of Münster (Germany), https://www.uni-muenster.de/Religion-und-Moderne/aktuelles/forschung/projekte/projekt_templeton.html, - the University of Eastern Finland, https://uefconnect.uef.fi/en/group/the-transmission-of-religion-across-generations-a-comparative-international-study-of-continuities-and-discontinuities-in-family-socialization/ - the Pázmány Péter Catholic University Budapest (Hungary), - the University of Turino (Italy), https://www.dcps.unito.it/do/docenti.pl/Show?_id=rricucci#tab-profilo and - the University of Ottawa (Canada).

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
