Description
Summary:The present study utilized three age groups of volunteer male and female members of two large churches, one liberal and one conservative, of the same Protestant denomination. Subjects were assessed as to an intrinsic-extrinsic religious orientation, a belief in internal versus external control of reinforcement, and authoritarianism. Results suggest that church members identified as religiously intrinsic were significantly more likely to believe in internal control of reinforcement. Authoritarianism was not related to either religious orientation or locus of control. Relationships between the belief systems, age, sex, education, and church attendance were also discussed.
