Attitudes & Behaviors of Youth

The Attitudes and Behaviors of Youth (ABY) project, OneHope's quantitative research study, examines the true daily life of teens and trends around the world. In 2007, OneHope launched a four-year, quantitative research study to identify the true daily life of teens around the world. From 2007-2011, more than 152,000 13-19-year-olds in 44 countries on 5 continents answered questions about their lives - family relationships, life choices, and faith. The Attitudes and Behaviors of Youth (ABY) study revealed the teenage "norm" has gone global - crossing cultural and religious boundaries. To our knowledge, this is the largest research study on global youth attitudes and behaviors ever conducted.

Analysis was conducted on each of the 44 countries, which resulted in unique 'snap-shot' reports of youth in each of these nations. Comprehensive and executive summary reports are available that highlight key findings, as well as profiles describing the domains of demographics, family relationships, relationships with people of the opposite sex, daily challenges, beliefs and perspectives in life, and religious background. Upon completion of the 44th country, an analysis of the global sample was conducted. This book highlights key findings from each country, as well as of the global analysis.
