Abstract

Previous reviews of the origins and development of Gordon Allport's concepts of intrinsic and extrinsic religious orientations (Hunt & King, 1971; Meadow & Kahoe, 1984; Donahue, 1985) tend to be atomistic. By contrast this brief overview focuses on more general issues and suggests some new understandings of the orientations. We first trace Allport's inherent, but usually overlooked, hypotheses about the development of intrinsic and extrinsic religiousness. Then a review of the major bipolar descriptive terms and their sources leads to a history of the operationalization of the two concepts. Our conclusion adds to the continuing debate about the relationship between intrinsic and extrinsic dimensions.
