Religious Orientation and Authoritarianism in Cross-cultural Perspective

This is a special thematic edition of the International Journal for the Psychology of Religion, Volume 9, Number 9 from 1999. The main topic is the religious orientation and authoritarianism in a cross-cultural perspective. If research such as that published in this journal issue were extended to other cultures and peoples, it would facilitate international dialogue about the research on religious orientation, which has been a cornerstone of Western, empirical psychology of religion for the past 30 years. The articles assembled in this issue of the journal present data from non-Western populations and the results of a translation of religious orientation measures into a language other than English. Data sets in the four articles in this issue come from Canada, Ghana, The United States, and Poland.
