Dimensions of the Mysticism Scale: Confirming the Three-Factor Structure in the United States and Iran
In a mostly Christian American sample (N = 1,379), confirmatory factor analysis of Hood's (1975) Mysticism Scale verified the existence of Stace's (1960) introvertive and extrovertive dimensions of mystical phenomenology along with a separate interpretation factor. A second study confirmed the presence of these three factors in not only another group of Americans (N = 188), but also in a sample of Iranian Muslims (N = 185). Relationships of the i…
Changing Views of Serpent Handling: A Quasi-Experimental Study
Knowledge about serpent handling sects (SHS) even among social scientists and legislators has been largely influenced by biased media reports. Our own field research suggests that factual knowledge about SHS is effective in changing stereotypes about serpent handling and in altering views as to the rights of believers to handle serpents in church. In a quasi-experimental study, participants were pretested with respect to both prejudicial and reas…
Affect, Religion, and Unconscious Processes
After a brief review of the central and organizing role of affect in both personality and religion, the bridge between psychoanalytic and contemporary cognitive perspectives of the unconscious is investigated, with a special focus on an affectively based experiential component as outlined in Epstein’s (1973, 1993, 1994) Cognitive‐Experiential Self‐Theory (CEST) model. Four basic needs postulated by CEST are applied to religious experience: the ne…
Religion and the Experiential System: Relationships of Constructive Thinking with Religious
Cognitive-Experiential Self-Theory (CEST) differentiates an emotional experiential from a rational system of thepersonality. CEST further hypothesizes that religion can express adaptive experiential potentials, and a Constructive Thinking Inventory has been devised for recording a healthy functioning of the experiential system. In the present project, the Intrinsic scale and type largely predicted constructive thinking, whereas the Extrinsic and …
