Department of Psychology, Faculty of Philosophy, University of TrnavaHornopotocna 23, 918 43 Trnava, Slovak RepublicAbstract: The study is based on the assumption that the attachment system is closely related toreligiosity and religious behavior. Previous research showed that a type of attachment was relatedto religious conversion. Insecure attachment was related to sudden and emotional conversion andsecure attachment was related to gradual adoption of caregiver’s religion. The present researchfocused in more detail on the relationship between attachment styles and the religious conversionprocess. 101 Christian converts filled out the Religious Conversion Process Questionnaire mea-suring different aspects of how conversion came about, and two attachment questionnaires:Attachment History Paragraphs for measuring attachment towards parents and RelationshipQuestionnaire measuring attachment in the current relationships. Pearson correlation analysis ofthe relations between conversion dimensions and attachment styles showed that secure attach-ment towards parents was related to the presence of some religiosity education before conversionand parents being a positive factor in the conversion. On the other hand, insecure attachmenttoward parents (especially toward the father) correlated with experiencing religious conversion asa more sudden, emotionally driven process accompanied by mystical experiences. These resultsgave support to both, compensation and socialized correspondence hypotheses as described inattachment and religion research and theory.Key words: attachment styles, religion, religious conversion
