20.500.12556/DKUM-35613 Cross-cultural insight into the association between religiousness and authoritarianism The current study investigated the possible existence of a relationship between authoritarianism and religiousness and the possible strength of this potential relationship. The study involved samples from four cultural environments known to differ substantially in terms of religious salience and content: Slovenia (predominantly Catholic), Serbia (predominantly Eastern Orthodox), Bosnia and Herzegovina (predominantly Muslim), and the United States (predominantly Protestant). Religiousness was assessed by way of religious orientation (including intrinsic and extrinsic orientation) as proposed by Allport (1950), whereas authoritarianism was tapped by a modified Lane scale (1955). Results from zero-order correlations indicated a strong and positive association between authoritarianism and all types of religious orientation, regardless of the sample analyzed. Residualizing the main study constructs by demographic variables did not alter the results. The association changed only when each dimension of religious orientation was controlled for the effect of other dimensions. Results did not lend support to the hypothesis that authoritarianism is more strongly linked to those who are more extrinsically oriented. sociology of religion authoritarianism religiosity intercultural differences religious orientation Serbian orthodoxy Slovenian catholicism Bosnian Islam US protestantism sociologija religije avtoritarianizem vernost medkulturne razlike verska pripadnost pravoslavna vera katoliška vera muslimanska vera protestantizem true false false Angleški jezik Angleški jezik Neznano 2012-06-07 11:49:37 2012-06-07 11:49:38 2022-04-19 03:37:09 2019-07-10 13:59:06 2009 0 0 0000-00-00 NiDoloceno NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 316.74:2 16862984 0084-6724 URN:SI:UM:DK:5FN22ERW http://dx.doi.org/10.1163/157361209X424448 1 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=46592 Filozofska fakulteta 0 0 0
