Chaim, Władysław2023-05-292023-05-291994Analecta Cracoviensia, 1994, T. 26, s. 3-21.0209-0864http://theo-logos.pl/xmlui/handle/123456789/7715Zawiera tabele.The objective of this exploration is to analyse the relation between the acceptance (complete or selective) of the tenet system within the Christian religion and the structure of needs. The Scale of Consistency of Religious Beliefs, worked out by the author of his article, was used to estimate the acceptance of religious beliefs. The structure of needs was tested by means of the Stern Activities Index. In order to verify the hypothesis about existence of such relations the groups of complete and selective acceptance of the basic fields of religious doctrines (theocentric, christocentric, eschatic and ecclesiastical) were compared according to the intensity of Stern’s 24 needs. As a result it was discovered that significant differences of needs intensity existed between groups of complete and selective (incomplete) acceptance belonging to already mentioned doctrinal fields: 1) theocentric — in the range of needs: Humanism, Pragmatism, Energy, Passivity, Nurturance, Rejection, Sentience, Narcism, Succordance, Autonomy, Abasement, Objectivity, Projectivity, Ego Archievement, 2) christocentric — in the range of needs: Energy, Passivity, Nurturance, Succordance, Autonomy, Objectivity, Projectivity, Play, Change, Sameness, 3) eschatic — in needs: Pragmatism, Energy, Passivity, Rejection, Narcism, Abasement, Objectivity, Projectivity, Sameness, Ego Achievement, 4) ecclesiastical — needs: Humanism, Pragmatism, Energy, Passivity, Conjuctivity, Disjunctivity, Deference, Nurturance, Rejection, Harmavoidance, Achievement, Succordance, Autonomy, Play, Change, Sameness, Ego Achievement. It was also identified that the correlation between acceptance of religious doctrines and need structure is conditioned by the language in which they are expressed.plAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Polandhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/pl/religiaprawdy religijneprzekonania religijneprawdy wiaryreligijnośćreligijność selektywnawiarasystem doktrynalny religii chrześcijańskiejchrześcijaństwodoktrynaduchowośćKościółżycie religijnepsychologianauki społecznepotrzebywartościheterodoksjaortodoksja religijnabadaniareligionreligious truthsreligious beliefstruths of faithreligiousnessselective religiousnessfaithdoctrinal system of the Christian religionChristianitydoctrinespiritualityChurchreligious lifepsychologysocial sciencesneedsvaluesheterodoxyreligious orthodoxyresearchArticle
