| Summary: | Sixty-two sister-teachers were administered the Personal Orientation Inventory in 1969 and again in 1972. The Pearson product-moment correlation was used to measure the degree to which the relative ordering of the individual scores were correlated between the pre- and post-testing. The correlations ranged from .12 to .82 with a mean of .59. Statistical significance was reached on 11 of the 12 scales. This indicates that for individual women the relative ordering remained essentially the same except for the way in which they viewed the dichotomies of life. In a t difference analysis, used to measure the degree to which the overall group scores changed over time, significant differences were found on 4 of the 12 scales. The results indicate that these women, as a group, appear to be more innerdirected, more aware of self-actualizing values, more spontaneous, and have a higher regard for themselves in contrast to results for 1969. Personal experiences over a three year period could well account for these and other shifts. However, the investigators suggest that some of these experiences may be at least in part, the consequence of the increased flexibility and freedom of choice to be found in religious communities today. |
