Undergraduates Developing Their Own Systematic Integration of Psychology and Christianity
This article is written from the perspective of both professor and student, detailing the development of a system of psychology as a part of senior seminar. After briefly introducing professor and student, we each tell about the purpose of the project, the preparation for writing the system, the process of developing it, and the product—a system of psychology
Measurement of Identity from Adolescence to Adulthood: Cultural, Community, Religious, and Family Factors
Rather than defining identity in terms of individuality, we defined it in terms of relationships with others. People know who they are on the basis of their relationships with others in their culture, community, religion, and family. We developed a measure of identity with four subscales and gave it to six adolescent groups in Experiment 1. We revised it and gave it to another six groups, five adolescent and one adult, in Experiment 2. We further…
Psychology from a Christian Perspective
Reaction: Theory or Data
Toward the Development of A Christian Psychology: Emotion
This article adds to a previous reinterpretation of psychology from a Christian perspective by placing emotion in that perspective. From various definitions, theories, and experiments it is shown that both the animal-like physiological aspects and the God-like cognitive aspects of emotion must be considered. Finally, several positive and negative emotions are discussed as being part of the image of God in humans
Toward the Development of A Christian Psychology: Adjustment and Maladjustment
This is fifth in a series of articles placing various areas of psychology in a Christian perspective. First, adjustment is defined as being like God, and maladjustment as being unlike God. Physical disorders, learned responses, underlying conflicts, sin, immaturity, or demon possession may result in maladjustment, may keep a person from being like God. Physical methods of therapy, behavior therapy, psychotherapy, salvation, discipleship, or the c…
Toward the Development of a Christian Psychology: Personality
This is the fourth in a series of articles placing various areas of psychology in a Christian perspective. First, the major approaches to personality are considered. The psychoanalytic and behavioristic approaches are seen as emphasizing the animal-like aspects of human personality, while humanistic and cognitive approaches emphasize the similarity of humans to God. Then personality is placed in a Christian perspective. Humans are seen as being s…
Toward the Development of a Christian Psychology: Learning and Cognitive Processes
This is second in a series of articles placing various areas of psychology in a Christian perspective. Learning is seen as emphasizing how humans are similar to animals. Classical conditioning, instrumental learning, verbal learning, reinforcement, and theories of learning are all discussed. Cognitive processes are seen as emphasizing how humans are created in the Image of God. The need to know, theories of cognitive organization, and the specifi…
Toward the Development of a Christian Psychology: Sensation and Perception
A Christian perspective on psychology is briefly reviewed. Sensation is seen as emphasizing how humans are similar to animals. Human sensory organs are similar anatomically and physiologically to those of other mammals. Humans are sensitive to similar stimuli and have similar neural pathways to the brain. Perception is seen as emphasizing how humans are created in the image of God. The central nervous system is not simply a passive receiver of se…
An Integration of Statistics and Christianity
The Christian world-view has implications for statistics at the philosophical level as well as at the theoretical and applied levels. At the philosophical level statistics can be regarded as reflecting reality, as reflecting man's ignorance, or as reflecting both ignorance and reality. At the theoretical level our world-view influences the statistics we emphasize in our teaching. Finally, at the applied level our Christian faith must be reflected…
Toward the Development of a Christian Psychology: Man
The relationship between God, man, and animals is explored by showing that man is similar to animals in some respects but different in others and that he is similar to God in some respects but different in others. It is shown how a Christian perspective could be used to integrate existing psychological knowledge and has the potential for predicting new findings
A Basis for Christian Psychology: A Reply to Grounds
A discussion of Grounds’ five objections to the thesis that by studying man's behavior and character we can come to a better understanding of God's behavior and character
A Basis for the Development of Christian Psychology with a Few Initial Ideas
A basis was proposed upon which a uniquely Christian psychology can develop. The Christian doctrine of creation along with the idea of studying the created to learn about the Creator served as this basis; since man is created in God's image, psychologists stand in a unique position to learn more about God. Brief speculation was made on areas of study, definition, methods, and application
Social Status of Roles within the Christian Community
Two surveys were conducted among 213 college students to determine whether or not they would differentiate between the relative status of various Christian roles, and if so, what type of hierarchy of importance would result and how stable it would be. It was found that about 95% willingly rated the various Christian roles and that the ratings were quite stable across classification and major of student
