| Summary: | Studies of the dimensions of religiosity have reached a point where they can be used not merely for the identification of dimensions but also for advancing research in many aspects of the sociology of religion. The results of a study with a sample of Catholics in a Midwest city indicate that: (1) consequential scales must be broken down into individual and social consequences; (2) the individual consequences dimension correlates positively with dimensions measuring orthodoxy, devotionalism, and comfort-seeking whereas the social consequences dimension correlates negatively with orthodoxy and comfort-seeking; (3) the relationship between devotionalism and social consequences is curvilinear with the most and least devotional scoring highest on social consequences; and (4) attitudes on birth control are independent of the other dimensions. |
