Religious motivation in the elderly: a French-Canadian replication and an extension.

Department of Psychology, University of Quebec, Montreal, Canada.

Abstract

To clarify further the relationship between religiosity and personal adjustment, four kinds of religious motivation were distinguished: intrinsic, self-determined extrinsic, non-self-determined extrinsic, and amotivation. A study of 176 French-Canadian elderly people found that these four kinds of religious motivation can be reliably measured, that they display a pattern of intercorrelations consistent with theoretical predictions, and that they are related to other important aspects of the lives of these elderly people in a theoretically meaningful manner.
