Dr. Amy Adamczyk on Why Parents Are the #1 Influence On Their Teens

Today we are posting an interview with Amy Adamczyk. Amy is Professor of Sociology at John Jay College of Criminal Justice and the Programs of Doctoral Study in Sociology and Criminal Justice at The Graduate Center, City University of New York. Trained as a sociologist of religion, her research focuses on how different contexts (such as nations, counties, friendship groups), and personal religious beliefs shape people’s deviant, moral, and health-related attitudes and behaviors. We’ll be talking today primarily about the findings from her book Handing Down the Faith. For more parenting resources, go to axis.org
