Abstract

This study aims to: 1) Describe the role of the family in shaping religious values in adolescents in Bunde Village, Sampaga District, Mamuju Regency; 2) Describe the supporting and inhibiting factors in instilling religious values in adolescents; and 3) Describe the solutions implemented by families to overcome these obstacles. This research is motivated by the importance of the family’s role as the first and primary educational environment in shaping the religious character of adolescents amidst the challenges of modern development and social environmental influences. This type of research is descriptive qualitative research with a phenomenological approach. The research location is in Bunde Village, Sampaga District, Mamuju Regency. The research data sources consist of parents, adolescents, and the surrounding community. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis used the Miles and Huberman model, which includes data reduction, data display, as well as conclusion drawing and verification. The validity of the data was tested through source and method triangulation techniques. The results of the study show that the role of the family in shaping religious values in adolescents is realized through parents’ exemplary behavior in worship and morals, habituation of daily religious practices and etiquette, dialogic communication, firm yet affectionate parenting styles, as well as the provision of religious learning facilities and supervision of social interactions and digital media use. Supporting factors include a religious family environment, harmonious communication, and the availability of religious learning facilities. Meanwhile, inhibiting factors include the influence of social media, promiscuity, busy parents, and weak control over the use of technology. The implications of this study confirm that the family has a strategic role as a primary socialization agent in shaping the religious character of adolescents. Therefore, parents are expected to be able to optimize the functions of modeling, habituation, communication, and supervision in a balanced manner to strengthen the moral resilience of adolescents amidst the dynamics of social and digital developments.
