Abstract

Co~nparative analysis of the psycho~netric features of the 6 measures of individual religion, Extrinsic, Intrinsic, External, Internal, Quest, and either Orthodoxy or an Indi- vidual Religiousness scale (IRS), has been acconplished for Americans (investigated by Batson and his associates), and for two Polish samples. Extrinsic, Intrinsic, External, Internal, and Quest wereevaluated for all samples; Orthodoxy was evaluated for the American sanpleonly, and the IRS was evaluated for thePolish samples only. Re- liability, correlations between the scales, and several kinds of factor analyses are described. Hypotheses about the essential replicability in Polish of three dimensions of religious orientation, Means, End, and Quest, were mostly supported. However, there were also solnedifferences, supposedly associated with both cultural difference (re1igion in the Polish Catholics seems to represent the true and social believer character) and sample difference (high positive correlation between the Extrinsic and Intrinsic scales in the sample consisting mostly of persons coping with serious problems). There is also some evidence that the Quest items regarding doubts as positive do not work in the Polish participants in the way designed by Batson. The analysis is followed by some suggestions for the future develop~nent of Religious Orientations Scales, such as being more grounded in psychological theories.
