The article presents the research methods applied in the psychology of religion. It is pointed out that in studies on religious experience the same research methods are used as those applied in other branches and fields of psychology. The differences are mainly reduced to the frequency of usage of the particular research methods in psychology of religion. In the psychological study on religious experience both quantity (nomotetic) and quality (idiographic) methods are applied. Only the quality methods such as: psychological experiment, semantic differential, psychological observation, psychological test and questionnaire are presented and discussed in the article. The article focuses primarily on the possibility of applying those methods in research on religious experience.
