| Summary: | This research continues the discourse on the role of religion in sociopolitical change.

Rates of political participation are high among this group and appear linked to the mediating variable of “personal efficacy.” The interpretation is that new religious movements oriented toward transformation of self have the potential for change-oriented politics if they challenge the systemic link of self-evaluations and power. |
