| Summary: | Data on 326 students from three universities were collected to investigate the general relationship between religious motivation and expressed religiosity. Seven measures of religious motivation identified by Gorlow and Schroeder (1968) were treated as the independent variables; results from a series of multiple regression analyses indicate, that as a set, the motivational variables are relatively powerful predictors of both religious attitudes and behaviors. With a variety of standard demographic variables controlled, two motivational variables in particular display consistently substantial net relationships with the measures of religiosity: god-seeking and social-service motive. Variations in the importance of the motivational variables are discussed and implications for church policy are noted. |
