| Résumé: | This research reports results of a personality assessment of members of a fundamentalist Jesus movement commune in an effort to address questions about what type of persons are attracted to or developed by such experiences and whether or not such experiences should be viewed as maladaptive. Personality self-conceptions of 83 members (66 males and 17 females) of the group were compared with those of a normative sample of college students who were similar in age, educational, and socioeconomic characteristics. The results generally indicate a "maladaptive" pattern of self-conceptions, although substantial cultural differences between this group and the normative sample require that such an interpretation be qualified. Implications of the findings for personality theory are discussed, with special attention given to defining of maladaptivity and to the problem of the relationship between maladaptivity and religiousity. The ramifications of results concerning the genesis of the Jesus movement is discussed, with particular reference to deprivation theory. |
