| Summary: | In a previous Iranian investigation, comparative rationality analysis procedures associated with the ideological surround model of psychology and religion examined the influence of Muslim religious rationalities on responding to religious problem-solving style scales. This study extended the analysis to 306 mostly Christian American university students. As in Iran, the collaborative problem-solving style was consistent with, and the self-directing style was inconsistent with, religious commitments and psychological adjustment. The deferring style had ambiguous implications in Iran, and the same was true in the United States, albeit in different ways. Religious rationalities mediated problem-solving style relationships with other variables in a manner documenting the complexity of American religious perspectives. Most generally, these data suggested that empirical attention to the incommensurable rationalities of religions and the social sciences can promote deeper insights into both. |
