2098.134 Religiosity and Self-Construal: Interdependence in an Individualistic Culture, Emma
Buchtel, University of British Columbia, Canada
Investigating the relationship of self-concept and culture (Religious vs. Non-Religious), 116
undergraduate students (50% female) filled out a Religious Means questionnaire (Fiorito and Ryan,
1998, August), a Self-Construal Scale (Singelis 1994); and a Communal Orientation scale (Clark,
Ouellette, Powell, and Milberg, 1987). Results showed that 1) religiosity is significantly positively
correlated with Interdependent Self-Construal (“spiritual” feelings being the most important
predictor) and has no correlation with Independent Self-Construal; and 2) religiosity is a better
predictor of Interdependent Self-Construal than Communal Orientation. Findings suggest that
religiosity, as a sub-culture within an individualistic general culture, can have measurable effects
on self-concept.

2098.136 Implicit and explicit attitude to the 3 major religion of the world, Aleksandra
Fila-Jankowska, University of Gdańsk, Poland
In 3 experiments (3 countries) the behavioral tendency towards representative objects as a
component of implicit attitude was measured. In computer simulation three parameters - final
distance, time and way of moving - exhibits approaching towards representation of tested
phenomena. Constructed indicator correlates significantly with measures of explicit attitudes. The
final distance from the objects which represent Christianity is the shortest for Christians, the same
way Buddhists present the most positive attitude to Buddhism and Muslims to Islam. This general
results are consistent with hypotheses. But individual differences in compatibility of implicit and
explicit attitudes is an important point of consideration.
