Abstract

Measures and conceptualizations in the psychology of religion have been developed on predominantly Christian samples and their transportation to the study of other religions can be problematic. A review of empirical research on Israeli Jewish samples in different research areas—measuring religiousness, religious motivation, mystical experience, prayer, religious support, religious fundamentalism, and religiousness & sexuality—is presented and the significance of differences in orthodoxy / orthopraxy orientation, religious theology and belief, religious practice, and sociological aspects of religious life for empirical research in the psychology of religion is demonstrated. Methodological recommendations in each instance are provided. Many of the insights and recommendations presented here are applicable to the study of additional non-Christian religions.
犹太(以色列)样本宗教心理研究的挑战
宗教心理学中的测量和概念化主要是在基督教样本上发展起来的,将它们转移到其他宗教的研究中可能会有问题。本文回顾了不同研究领域对以色列犹太人样本的实证研究——测量宗教性、宗教动机、神秘体验、祈祷、宗教支持、宗教原教旨主义、宗教性和性——并展示了正统/正正统取向、宗教神学和信仰、宗教实践和宗教生活社会学方面的差异对宗教心理学实证研究的意义。在每个实例中都提供了方法建议。这里提出的许多见解和建议也适用于其他非基督教宗教的研究。
