Description
Summary:The present research replicates earlier findings that the Intrinsic, Extrinsic, and Quest orientations are differentially related with religious conflict. Additional analyses explored the relations between specific dimensions of religious orientation and conflict. Quest was significantly associated with a sense of uncertainty. The Doubt component of Quest also correlated significantly with a perceived need to be more valiant in one's religiousness and with the belief that it is difficult to reconcile science with religion. Intrinsic religiousness was either negatively or not correlated with conflict. Social-Extrinsic and Religious Seriousness scores were positively related to conflict. Personal-Extrinsic religiousness showed a complex relationship with conflict, correlating negatively, positively, or not at all with aspects of conflict.
