Summary: | Four theories of the origins of God concepts (Freudian, Adlerian, Social Learning, and Self-Esteem) were compared utilizing partial correlation techniques. The Ss were 198 Catholic youth from 3 parochial schools. Slightly more support was gained for the Adlerian and Self-Esteem positions than for the Freudian and Social Learning frameworks. Both methodogolical and theoretical questions are raised challenging such exclusively individualistic explanations; and sociocultural possibilities are introduced. Serious measurement difficulties merit research consideration before this long-standing problem in the psychology of religion can be successfully resolved. |
