Summary: | It was proposed that effectiveness of a religious response to personal crisis is related to type and amount of self‐discrepancy. Fifty subjects were administered a questionnaire to assess the following two types of self‐discrepancies: (1) discrepancy between perceived actual self and perceived ideal self and (2) discrepancy between perceived actual self and perceived ought‐to‐be self. Subjects also were asked to choose types of religious responses to a personal crisis. Religious responses were behaviorally, cognitively, and affectively loaded. Subjects with an actual/ought discrepancy chose behavioral and affective religious responses more frequently than did those without this discrepancy. No effects were found for the actual/ideal discrepancy. Implications of these results for revision and extension of the model are discussed. |
