GLOCK'S MODEL OF RELIGIOUS COMMITMENT: ASSESSING SOME DIFFERENT APPROACHES AND RESULTS.

Ten components of religious commitment were derived by superimposing a liberalconservative distinction on Glock's five dimensions. Data concerning the ten components were obtained from Baptist and Methodist church members. The relationships among the components permit a reassessment of some conflicting assumptions and findings in the two major types of research which have flowed from Glock's model. Some suggestions for further research also are offered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
