A study of religious involvement among university students : literal, anti-literal, and mythological religious involvement
A sample of 210 university students were clustered into relatively homogenous religious orientations, based on their scores on three scales of religious involvement, delineated by Hunt (1972): Literal, Anti-literal and Mythological. The three groups were compared on the following measures: (i) Background variables; (ii) Thouless (1935): Intensity of Belief Scale; (iii) Rokeach (1960): Dogmatism Scale; (iv) 16 PF by Cattell et al. (1970) and (v) King and Hunt (1972 b): Scales for Basic Religious Dimensions. Hunt's notion that pro-religious subjects of different involvement might differ in terms of personality variables was supported.
