| Summary: | This paper develops and tests a conceptual model of religiosity. Particular attention is given to measuring the dimensions of religiosity among Mormons, but the model is adaptable to the study of religiosity within other denominations and groups. Six dimensions are theoretically derived by a cross-classification of three general components: religious belief, commitment, and behavior; and two modes of religiosity: personal and institutional. An empirical test of the model is reported using data collected from a large sample of Mormons. |
