Abstract

A persistent question in the psychological analysis of religion has been the number of dimensions necessary to describe religious belief and behaviour. The responses of 420 university students to a questionnaire containing a number of religious measures were subjected to factor analysis. It was found that the various religious measures in general fell on a single dimension, and that a person's religion can be summarized by a single score. Some apparent differences between these results and those of other investigators are discussed, and some possible reasons for these differences advanced.
