The symbolic interactionist perspective would focus on how the teenagers perceive the benefits of joining a church and how their interactions with religious individuals and institutions may influence their decision. The rational choice perspective would examine the costs and benefits of joining a church compared to not being affiliated with a religion and explore how the teenagers make their choice based on rational decision-making. Both of these perspectives would be relevant for understanding why and how teenagers who are not religiously affiliated choose to join a church.
