Religiosità, fondamentalismo e attaccamento nell’adulto: un approccio empirico (original) (raw)

Abstract

Religiosity, fundamentalism and adult attachment: an empirical approach Over the last few years many acts of violence, abuses of power, and mutual intolerance between the western world and the eastern Islamic world have been witnessed. The mass media tend to speak of “Islamic fundamentalism” and to forget that fundamentalism is also present in the Christian world. The background hypothesis is that fundamentalism (or extremism) is a general psychological dimension that best realizes itself in its religious application. Attention has been focused on religious fundamentalism in the Italian world and on variables that could be connected to it, above all by attempting to translate and/or devise instruments to detect it. The aim of this specific investigation is the translation, adaptation, and possible standardization in Italy of instruments for the study of religious fundamentalism and religiosity. A second purpose is to study the relationships between the variables measured by these instruments and political orientation, attachment styles and personality features, variables that all are somehow connected to religious fundamentalism.
