The study is based on the assumption that the attachment system is closely related to the religiosity and religious behaviour. Previous research showed that a type of attachment was related to religious conversion. Insecure attachment was related to sudden and emotional conversion and secure attachment was related to gradual adoption of caregiver’s religion. The present research focused in more detail on the relationship between attachment styles and the religious conversion process. 101 Christian converts filled out the Religious Conversion Process Questionnaire measuring different aspects of how conversion came about, and two attachment questionnaires: Attachment History Paragraphs for measuring attachment towards parents and Relationship Questionnaire measuring attachment in the current relationships. Pearson correlation analysis of the relations between conversion dimensions and attachment styles showed that secure attachment towards parents was related to the presence of some religiosity education before conversion and parents being a positive factor in the conversion. On the other hand, insecure attachment toward parents (especially toward the father) correlated with experiencing religious conversion as a more sudden, emotionally driven process accompanied by mystical experiences. These results gave support to both, compensation and socialized correspondence hypotheses as described in attachment and religion research and theory.

This paper analyses the religious conversion of Roma in a region of eastern Slovakia of mixed ethnic and religious composition, focusing on the most important factors which influence this phenomenon. The conclusions also take account of the heterogeneity of Roma in the locality under examination, since the Romani communities there have different social levels, living conditions and degrees of contact with the majority. Religious conversion is a complicated process, with a number of determinants playing their parts. For the purposes of the paper’s interpretative framework, it seems most advantageous to use the stage model of religious conversion; family and social bonds are equally important, and also the personality of the missionary. The disposition of Roma towards religious conversion is strikingly influenced by the factors of social control and the firm social structure in the community. Analysis of the conversion narratives has shown that an individual crisis in various life situations, together with personal and social factors, functions as the starting mechanism of religious conversion. The fact, that in several localities Roma have a tendency to convert in larger numbers may be caused by the fact that social exclusion can evoke more individual crisis situations, which in certain circumstances (presence of a religious mission, weakened social structure of the community etc.) can result in larger waves of religious conversions.
