Description
Summary:In a survey of 50 adult church members, a similar factor structure to Batson's (1976) Means, End, and Quest dimensions of religious orientation was found. Self-appraisals based on definitions of the End and Quest dimensions were positively related to factor scores of these same dimensions. Positive correlation of self-reports of religiosity with the End scores and a negative trend in the correlations with Means and Quest raise the possibility that Means, End, and Quest may be typologies rather than three independent dimensions of religious orientation which are systematically unrelated to each other.
