| Summary: | A significant body of empirical research has demonstrated associations connecting Jungian psychological type theory with a variety of religious preferences and practices among both Christian individuals and clergy. No research to date has examined whether these relationships extend to the Orthodox Jewish population. This study explores the relationship between the perceiving process of psychological type theory (sensing and intuition) and religious preferences among a sample of 16 Orthodox Jewish females. Preliminary relationships were found between the perceiving process and religious orientation in a Jewish context. The findings provide initial support that psychological type theory can be useful in illuminating differing religious proclivities among Orthodox Jewish individuals and offer a framework for further empirical research to be conducted in this understudied area. |
