| Summary: | Commitment is described in terms of four manifestations observed in the Pentecostal Movement and in other secular movements. The experiential source of commitment is suggested and two components identified: (1) a subjective experience in which the self-image is altered and some degree of cognitive restructuring occurs, and (2) an overt act which sets the performer apart from the larger society in some significant way. Measure for each of these components as they occur in the Pentecostal Movement are described and data on the correlation of each with participation in the social organization of the movement is presented. An operational definition of commitment is suggested for use in further studies. |
