20.500.12556/DKUM-35841 Religious sentiment as peripheral : cross-cultural study of religious orientation by multidimensional scaling The relation between intrinsic and extrinsic orientations was studied in four samples of believing affiliates (Bosnian Muslims, Serbian Orthodox, Slovenian Catholics and US Protestants). By exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis and by multidimensional scaling (MDS), differences in patterns of religious orientations were discerned in the various cultures. By EFA, in the two European settings a closeness between intrinsic (I) and extrinsic personal(EP) orientation was noted. Beside that extrinsic other (EO) items, indicating peripheral nature of the religious sentiment, appeared as a separate dimension. The CFA produced slight differences in this direction, still allowing for a four component finding. The two dimensional presentation in MDS also indicated a similarity in pattern of the dimensions of religious orientation. In all four cases a pattern in the distribution of items appears allowing for naming the vertical axis as indicating the variation between centrality and periphery, and the horizontal one as indicating the variation between social and personal dimensions in religious sentiment. social psychology religion cross-cultural studies extrinsic orientation intrinsic orientation multidimensional scaling socialna psihologija religija medkulturne študije true true true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2012-06-07 12:28:18 2012-06-07 12:28:19 2024-07-16 13:31:53 2019-07-10 14:02:35 2007 0 0 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 316.6:316.74:2 15344392 1841-0413 URN:SI:UM:DK:HPFI07IH https://ejop.psychopen.eu/index.php/ejop 0 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=46864 Filozofska fakulteta 0 0 0
