Family and religion are two social institutions that affect persons from childhood to old-age. Religion, as a cultural system, is seen as a resource for individual well-being and as sustaining family values and family cohesion. However, its impact is embedded in the cultural context of religiosity. From a developmental perspective, an important period of life for a quest of (or explicit disinterest in) spirituality, is adolescence. Drawing upon the culture-informed model of intergenerational relationships (Trommsdorff, 2006) and data from the Value-of-Children study, this study investigates the interplay between attitudes towards religiosity and family, and the life satisfaction of adolescents and their mothers across four western countries with a Christian tradition (France, Germany, Poland, USA). Results indicate for adolescents in all cultures that religiosity had a positive impact on adolescents’ family orientation, which was in turn related to a higher life satisfaction. No such pattern was observed for adults.
