| Summary: | This study analyzes publication trends in the psychology of religion for the purpose of identifying the recent history and current status of the more prominent research areas in the discipline. Based primarily on publications since 1950, it classifies the publications according to six dimensions of religion. It then compares the dimensions in terms of total number of publications at five year intervals to 1974. The directional dimension is found to be the leading area of publication, followed in order by the dispositional, social, mythological, experiential, and ritual dimensions. The paper then analyzes shifts of emphasis in the discipline over the past twenty-five years, and assesses the current strengths and weaknesses of the psychology of religion. |
