| Annotation | This book aims to offer a comprehensive review of the psychology of religion and religiosity, by presenting research findings to support current theories in the social sciences. The authors examine how we acquire and change our beliefs, the effect of religiosity at individual and group level, and the effects of individual differences in personality and ability. Gender, age, social class and racial differences are also discussed. The authors conclude that religiosity is social, a product of learning, background and culture. |
