Relationship Between Religious Orientation and Multicultural Attitude Among College Student
Keywords:
Multicultural attitude, religious orientationAbstract
The purpose of this study was to find the relationship between religious orientation and multicultural attitude among university students. The participants were 218 undergraduate students aged 18-25 (M=20,95; SD=1,25). Religious Orientation Scale (Allport & Ross, 1967) and Munroe Multicultural Attitude Scale Questionnaire (Munroe & Pearson, 2006) were used. Spearman Correlation analysis found no significant relationship between intrinsic religious orientation and multicultural attitude (rs(216) = -0,001, p = 0,492) and between extrinsic religious orientation and multicultural attitude (rs(216) = 0,067, p = 0,161). The results implied the need for further research on religious subjective experience among college students.
