As predicted, females used receptive language to describe both erotic and mystical experiences. While males, as predicted, used agentive language to describe erotic experiences, they did not use agentive language to describe mystical experiences. The failure of males to use agentive language for mystical experiences is discussed in terms of the historically documented difficulty of males to experie:nce, union, agentively expressed, with a masculine conceptualized god image.","PeriodicalId":175594,"journal":{"name":"Dimensions of Mystical Experiences","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1980-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115419358","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
