Bond with the fellowship of believers in middle and late adulthood

The aim of the study was to examine differences between the periods of middle and late adulthood in terms of people’s bonds with the community of believers. The research was based on the concept of integral development of religiosity proposed by Walesa. The study which was conducted with the use of exploratory interviews involved 80 people, 40 in early and 40 in middle adulthood. It was found that there are differences between middle and late adulthood in two out of the four distinguished categories: reception and realization of ideals in the fellowship of believers.
