| Summary: | Allport and Ross' Intrinsic Religious Orientation Scale was associated with a tendency to attribute causality to God and to employ a relatively more complex attributional style. Extrinsicness was linked to an opposite influence while a questing, Interactional religiousness was unrelated to causal attributional processes. The effects of intrinsicness were even more evident when an Intrinsic type was differentiated from an Indiscriminately Proreligious category of subjects who scored high on both the Intrinsic and Extrinsic measures. A scale designed to control for this proreligiousness trait appeared confounded by a strong tendency to measure intrinsicness rather than indiscriminateness. These data supported conceptualizations of the Intrinsic Scale as operationalizing an adaptive form of religious motivation. |
