This article explores how young adult university students in three different contexts - Ghana, Turkey, and Peru - report using digital media for religious purposes. The article builds on previous research on the role of media in religious socialization and explores the usefulness of the notion of self-socialization in a transnational study. The studied contexts are all shown to differ when it comes to levels of self-reported religiosity and use of media for religious purposes. The article illustrates the independent use of digital media in all contexts and self-socialization taking place on a general level, but also highlights the continuous importance of traditional socialization agents, thus questioning simplistic understandings of the role of media in religious socialization.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessReligious socializationSelf-SocializationMediaReligionYoung AdultsEmerging AdulthoodGhanaTurkeyPeruArticle492240261WOS:0004635178000052-s2.0-8506388318010.1080/0048721X.2019.1584353Q1N/A
