| Summary: | In a study designed to assess the psychological implications of religious types in Muslim society, Iranian university students (N = 191) responded to the Allport and Ross (1967) Religious Orientation Scales along with measures of alexithymia, emotional intelligence, self-consciousness, and psychological adjustment. The Intrinsic type displayed greater evidence of self-insight and adjustment than did the three other types, including most importantly the Indiscriminately Pro-religious type. These data failed to support the hypothesis that an Indiscriminately Pro-religious type would be most adaptive in Muslim society and instead demonstrated that previously observed mental health advantages of the Intrinsic type cannot be limited to a single religion or culture. |
