| Summary: | An operationalized measure of religious experience, the Religious Experience Episodes Measure (REEM), was constructed and demonstrated to differentiate persons reliably according to degree of reported religious experience. Further research was concerned with the empirical relationship between the REEM and religious orientation as measured by Allport's Religious Orientation Scale. It was demonstrated that intrinsically religious oriented persons were more likely to report having had a religious experience than were extrinsically religious oriented persons. The lack of a significant difference in reported religious experiences between intrinsically religious oriented persons and indiscriminately pro-religious oriented persons is discussed from a methodological perspective as is the lack of significant difference between extrinsically oriented persons and indiscriminately anti-religious oriented persons in reported religious experiences. The possibility of empirically interrelating measures of religious experience, religious orientation, and secular activities is briefly discussed. |
