| Summary: | One-hundred-fourteen women from an Episcopal church (rated by a panel of judges as “doctrinaire” vis-à-vis woman's role), a Congregational church (rated as “nondoctrinaire), and a Methodist church (rated as “moderate” on this variable) participated in a study of the importance or centrality of religion, concepts of woman's role, and self-esteem. Results of the Twenty-Statements test and the Attitudes toward Women Scale showed that women from the more doctrinaire churches tended to consider religion more central in their lives and also perceived their roles as women as more conservative. Results of the Tennessee Self Concept Scale yielded no statistically significant differences in self-esteem, though the lowest mean score was noted for the “moderate” group. |
