Description
Summary:This study is designed to determine if the tendency to value religion extrinsically is associated with any meaningful pattern of normal personality variables or religious practices. The measuring instruments used are, respectively, Wilson's Extrinsic Religious Values Scale, the Edwards Personal Preference Schedule, and a brief questionnaire covering the individual's religious practices. The subjects are 292 entering college freshmen. It is concluded that an interpretable pattern of significant relationships for males and females each does emerge, both of which are consistent with previous research findings and which further tend to support the construct validity of the Wilson scale.
