Description
Summary:Two different scoring techniques published by Feagin and by Allport for a common pool of 21 intrinsic/extrinsic religious orientation scale items developed by persons at Harvard are compared. Correlations between both Feagin's and Allport's total scales, their sub-scales, and a measure of reported religious experience (REEM) are reported. It is concluded that Feagin's scoring technique is as adequate as is Allport's and that neither Feagin's nor Allport's sub-scales can be combined to form a single, unidimensional scale.
