| Summary: | Dittes’ distinctions of “inside” versus “outside” views of religiosity and unidimensional versus multidimensional definitions are useful for reviewing the empirical research.

Factor analytic studies have offered support for multidimensional definitions, which have greater explanatory power. Future research should explore religious behavior more intensively, rather than broaden the scope of phenomena studied. |
