== Abstract for journal article Religiosity and Aging: Age and Cohort Effects and Their Implications for the Future of Religious Values in High‐Income OECD Countries ==
The abstract for the journal article ''Religiosity and Aging: Age and Cohort Effects and Their Implications for the Future of Religious Values in High‐Income OECD Countries'' published in the ''Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion'' indicates:
{{Cquote|It has long been noticed that older people tend to be more religious than younger people. However, it is still disputable whether this fact should be attributed to people generally becoming more religious with age per se (age effect), or to the process of secularization, wherein earlier cohorts (to which the now older people belong) used to be more religious than those that appeared later, younger cohorts (cohort effect). We try to distinguish between these two effects using a multifactor model applied to World Values Survey data (1981–2014) and find that at least in the developed countries the age effect strongly prevails over the cohort effect. This finding has important implications, e.g., that population aging in OECD countries can possibly slow down the transition from religious to secular values. This effect is already visible in some countries, such as Japan.<ref>[https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jssr.12613 ''Religiosity and Aging: Age and Cohort Effects and Their Implications for the Future of Religious Values in High‐Income OECD Countries''] by Sergey Shulgin, Julia Zinkina and Andrey Korotayev, ''Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion'', First published: 02 July 2019 https://doi.org/10.1111/jssr.12613</ref>}}
