Description
Summary:Sixty-two women religious were administered the 16 Personality Factor Questionnaire in 1969 and again in 1972. The Pearson product-moment correlations ranged from .18 to .77; the mean correlation was .36. Statistical significance was reached on 14 of 16 factors. In a "t" difference analysis, significant differences were found on 9 of 16 factors. The results indicate that various personality characteristics have shifted in the direction of increased self-awareness, self-sufficiency, and inner resourcefulness. The investigators suggest that these shifts, at least in part, may be due to the growing modernization within religious communities and the resultant increasing flexibility and freedom of choice for women religious.
