Abstract

This research attempted to explore the Entitiology of religiousness among High school students. The methodology employed in this study was formative semi-empirical through descriptive-Inferntial Entity-graphy. The participants in this research comprised 22 high school students from Shiraz City, selected through norm sampling to represent varying levels of explicit, normal, and usual indicators of religiousness. Through tactful interviews and directed content analysis aimed at identifying, categorizing, describing, and defining indicators of religiousness within this age group, the findings delineated 32 descriptive indicators encapsulating the entity of adolescent religiousness in this developmental phase. Among these indicators, components such as ethics and humanity, fulfillment of duties and avoidance of prohibitions, guidance, steadfastness in beliefs, and purposefulness exhibited greater clarity and emergence. The manifestation of these indicators as components of an adolescent religiousness entity implies significant implications for formative cognition and transformation of religiousness in this age group, as well as the religious upbringing of adolescents.
