Finnish university students’ social media use in the light of the Faith Q-Sort prototypes

The chapter explores Finnish young adults’ identity constructions in relation to social media in light of the Finnish Faith Q-Sort (FQS) prototypes. The Finnish data generated three prototypes, which could generally be termed a secular, a religious, and a spiritual one. The chapter highlights notable similarities and differences in social media use between these three prototypes. While those representing the secular prototype rarely express their worldviews via social media, respondents representing the religious and spiritual prototypes are much more active in this regard. The chapter thus ties in with previous and ongoing research on the relationship and interplay between peoples’ offline and online religious lives.
