Abstract
Background and Objective: One of the most influential factors in the religious identity of children is the family. Therefore, to nurture a young generation with a religious identity, it is crucial to pay attention to the family and its parenting style. The aim of this study was to develop a model for the formation of religious identity in girls based on parental parenting styles. Method: This study is qualitative and employs a systematic grounded theory approach. The study population consisted of parents with at least one daughter who is a university student with a religious identity. Participants were selected using purposive sampling and other inclusion criteria. Data were collected through semi-structured, in-depth interviews, reaching theoretical saturation by the eighteenth interview. The data obtained from the interviews were analyzed using Strauss and Corbin's constant comparative method in three stages (open coding, axial coding, and selective coding). Findings: The analysis yielded 201 open codes, 17 axial codes, and 5 selective codes: Religious Responsible Parenting; Preparation of Religious Educational Context; Barriers/Facilitators; Tawhid-Based Interactive Upbringing; Realization of Ṭayyibah Life (Pure Life).
Conclusion: This research enhances theoretical understanding of religious identity formation contexts in adolescents while providing faith-oriented families with practical guidelines rooted in parenting styles. The model establishes an operational framework for youth education by elucidating the pivotal role of religiously responsible parenting styles.
