Measuring Religious Attitudes in Secularized Western European Context
Wulff's two-dimensional model of approaches to religion was an inspiration for the development of the Post-Critical Belief Scale (PCBS), an instrument measuring religious attitudes, that is, “paradigms of religious belief structure” in a secularized Western European context. The scale has been frequently used in psychological studies, has undergone psychometric analyses and modifications, and has been translated into several languages. The curren…
How Do Perceptions of God as Autonomy Supportive or Controlling Relate to Individuals' Social-Cognitive Processing of Religious Contents? The Role of Motives for Religious Behavior
Using self-determination theory as a guiding framework, this study examined whether perceptions of God as autonomy supportive and controlling were related to individuals' belief in a transcendent reality and to their social-cognitive style of approaching religious contents (i.e., literal and rigid vs. symbolic and flexible). Further, we examined whether individuals' motives for religious behavior (i.e., autonomous vs. controlled) would mediate th…
Life Satisfaction in Chronic Pain Patients
Chronic pain (CP) is a stressful condition that severely impacts individuals' lives. Researchers have begun to explore the role of religion for CP patients, but the literature is scarce, especially for West European populations. Drawing from the transactional theory of stress, this study examined the associations between the religious meaning system and the life satisfaction for a group of CP patients who were members of a Flemish patients' assoc…
“Are you afraid to die?” Religion and Death Attitudes in an Adolescent Sample
The purpose of this study was to provide an in-depth examination of the relationship between religion and death attitudes. First, we investigated whether the results found in previous research on adults could be generalized to adolescents. Second, we implemented a person-centered approach in studying this relationship. Questionnaires assessing death attitudes and religious attitudes were completed by 213 adolescents in a secularized country. Resu…
The Role Of Religion in Death Attitudes
Although it is widely assumed that religiosity plays an important role in individuals' attitudes about death, research to date has failed to reveal consistent associations between religiosity and death attitudes. Drawing from D. M. Wulff's (1991) multidimensional model of religiosity, the authors examined associations between religious attitudes as measured by the Post-Critical Belief Scale and death attitudes as assessed by the Death Attitude Pr…
Religion and Mental Health
Studies concerning the relationship between religion and mental health have provided substantial evidence for the existence of a positive relationship. Nevertheless, it remains largely unclear which aspects of both religion and mental health take part in this relationship. The present study uses multiple measures of religion and of mental health to obtain a more refined view of this relationship. The results show the importance of distinguishing …

Religious Belief (not necessarily) Embedded in Basic Trust and Receptivity
Questioning Erikson (1965, 1968) and Rümke (1949), the first aim of this research was to relate a sense of basic trust to various approaches to religion. A second aim was to explore a religious coping attitude of receptivity, taking a more distant view of the problem situation in question. This study explores whether the relation between basic trust and receptivity on the one hand and religiosity on the other depends on the way people approach re…

The importance of religiosity and values in predicting political attitudes
It has often been argued that religions influence political attitudes only indirectly by their influence on the value system of believers. This value system, in turn, is supposed to be used as a guideline in forming political attitudes. Thus, in this view, it should be sufficient to focus on value orientations if one wants to examine religion's influence on political attitudes. However, results of this study among first year psychology students (…
Theodicy Models, Religious Coping Strategies, Self-Image and Post Critical Belief
In this study we relate four different measures: the theodicy models proposed by van der Ven, the coping strategies proposed by Pargament, a measure of positive or negative self-image and the post critical belief scales we ourselves have developed. We analysed the data of 251 Dutch-speaking Belgians. In the analysis we focus on the relation of the different measures with the post critical belief scales. Different types of believers are using diff…
Einstellungen zu Religion – Vorschläge für die Anwendung der Post-Critical-Belief-Skala im deutschen Sprachraum
Approaches To Religion and the Moods and Emotions Associa Ted With Religion
In the epilogue of his influential book, Wulff (1991; 1997) identified four approaches to religion, which can be located in a two-dimensional space along the dimensions inclusion of transcendence versus exclusion of transcendence and literal versus symbolic. The present study explores how the moods and emotions people associate with religion are related to the way in which they approach religion. Results suggest that inclusion of transcendence is…
Post-Critical Belief Scales
In previous studies, we identified four religious cognitive styles with the help of MDS (Multi Dimensional Scaling) analysis. The MDS graph suggested a developmental process. In a study involving 98 adults we examined this developmental process, based on the subject's description of their own development. In a research and thinking model we put forward various possibilities, indicating possible variables that play a role in these different trajec…
The relation between religion and racism
The relation between religion and racism has often been studied, but summarising these studies provides a fragmented picture. Generally, American research concludes there is a positive relation, whereas research in the Low Countries concludes this relation is negative. However, the conclusions of the latter research tradition might be premature, because inaccurate religiosity measures were used. The results of this study suggest that both frequen…
Racism and Post-Critical Belief
The purpose of the present study, which was conducted in Flanders, was to investigate the relationship between religious social identity, racism and four religious dimensions. As a measure of religious social identity, we used the 'religion/spiritual life' subscale, taken from the 'commitment to social identity' scale constructed by Jackson (1981). As a measure of racism, we used the relevant part of the 'ethnocentrism' scale constructed by Billi…
Psycho-Epistemological Styles and Religious Beliefs
The purpose of the present study is to investigate the relationship between psycho- epistemological styles and three religious dimensions. The psycho-epistenological itans which were used in our study are based on the three factors (naive realism, logi- cal inquiry, and sceptical subjectivism) Wilkinson and Migotsky (1994) found in their attempt to develop a single comprehensive measuring device. The factor analysis with vari~nax rotation on the …
Identity Statuses, Ego-Integration, God Representationand Religious Cognitive Styles
We present a new study, devoted on what we call post critical belief. We have correlated our three dimensions, orthodoxy, external critique and historical relativism with some variables on the subject side, identity statuses for younger people and ego-integrity for older ones. On the side of religious content we have examined the God representation in terms of father and mother qualifications and also the God representation of the subjects in ter…
Post-Critical Belief a New Approach To the Religious Attitude Problem1
After a short view on the story of religious attitude measurement and indicating some problems with this kind of questions and items, a new model of religious attittude measurement is proposed, based on theoretical views of Ricoeur. Three dimensions are proposed: orthodoxy, external critique and historical relativism. Correlations with other measures of religious attitude and with measures of certainty, etnocentricity, anomia and personal orienta…
Identity Status and Religiosity
In this study we analyze the relationship between identity status and religion. The expectation was that identity is related differently to different aspects of religion. The results show indeed that more personal aspects of religiosity have a different relation to identity than more socially supported aspects
Studying Dimensions of God Representation
God representation was studied by means of a questionnaire and by means of an open-ended question in a representative sample of students at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium. Data were analyzed for the two approaches by means of factor analysis and cluster analysis. Comparison of the two methods indicates that the answer structure of the two data sets is similar, but that the item list gave a somewhat better prediction of the answer to …

The Adolescents' Representation of God From Age 12 To 18
This paper gives the results of different surveys undertaken in the Dutch speaking part of Belgium between 1970 and 1987. The main aim of the research was to study the God representation of adolescents between the ages of 12 and 18. Data on religious practice and belief are also presented. The question raised is whether we can speak of an evolution of the God representation or only of changes therein. It seems that the age of 15 is of crucial imp…
The Attitude of Adults towards God
Cette étude a été réalisée au moyen d'une échelle Likert. Un certain nombre de modèles intéressants en émergent. Crainte et miséricorde ne s'accordent plus aussi bien : les sujets qui accordent beaucoup d'importance à l'un en accordent moins à l'autre. Ce même modèle est également présent lors de la confrontation crainte/responsabilité de ses propres mal heurs et révolte/responsabilité. En général, les femmes attri buent un peu plus de points que…
The representation of God
La relation de l'adolescent à Dieu a été étudiée de deux manières; avec une échelle Likert, d'une part ; à l'aide de questions ouvertes, de l'autre. Sur certains points, les résultats concordent, ailleurs ils se complètent remarquablement. La relation à Dieu est influencée par l'âge et, quoique dans une mesure moindre, par le sexe. Ces différences émergent dans les deux enquêtes. Pour l'adolescent, Dieu est surtout l'Absolu et Celui qui est misér…
