Religion and Self: Notions from a Cultural Psychological Perspective

Year: 2009

Type: article

Abstract: After a brief introduction of a cultural psychological perspective, this paper turns to the concept of self. The paper proposes to conceive of that reality to which the concepts of self refer as a narrative, employing especially autobiographies and other ego-documents in empirical exploration. After discussing some psychological theories about "self," the paper points out that they may well be applied in research on personal religiosity.
