520 |a The LAM scales permit the measurement of three religious meaning-commitment possibilities (Literal, Anti-literal, and Mythological) rather than the usual fundamentalistic-literalistic type of commitment which many single scales tend to measure. Twenty-five items consisting of three alternatives each, based upon McLean (1952), were given to 173 college students. The LAM scales consist of the 17 items which were retained on the basis of substantial item-scale correlations of each item alternative on its respective scale. Ways are discussed in which multiple scales like the LAM would force reinterpretation of studies of religious changes in college students and of research on the relation of religion to social-personality variables such as prejudice and hostility.
