Religion and Emotional Dependence

Year: 1995

Type: article

Abstract: Relating emotional dependence and individual religion has to include a discussion of the meaning of dependency. In this article, I reconsider the objective versus subjective aspect of this construct. Within the subjective aspect, the consequence of applying a definition of immature versus mature religion to investigations about its relation to emotional dependence is considered. Much of the research confirms the positive nature of the relation among most of variables of religion and emotional dependence. I also attempt to test the hypothesis that emotional dependence correlates positively only with immature religiousness and negatively with mature religiousness.
