| Résumé: | According to an Ideological Surround Model (ISM), epistemological sufficiency is essential in attempts to clarify the complexity of conservative religious commitments. A test of this claim involved analysis of a Sanctification of Learning Scale in a sample of 619 undergraduates who also responded to Religious Fundamentalism, Biblical Foundationalism, Conservative Religious Interest, Christian Religious Reflection, Religious Schema, Defense against Secularism, Religious Orientation, and Openness to Experience measures. Partial correlations controlling for Biblical Foundationalism defined a Religious Fundamentalist ideological surround, and partial correlations controlling for Religious Fundamentalism described a Biblical Foundationalist surround. Findings for Sanctification of Learning and other measures identified Biblical Foundationalism as a more open and Religious Fundamentalism as a more closed conservative religious perspective. Defensive against Secularism helped explain religious close-mindedness. Unexpected complexities appeared within an Atheist/Agnostic ideological surround. These data most generally illustrated the greater objectivity that may be available through methods that formally attempt to enhance epistemological sufficiency. |
