SERBIAN ORTHODOX RELIGIOUSNESS: AN EMPIRICAL AND COMPARATIVE PORTRAIT
SERBIAN ORTHODOX RELIGIOUSNESS: AN EMPIRICAL AND COMPARATIVE PORTRAIT

Summary/Abstract: Serbian Orthodoxy was studied empirically by using different measures of religiousness. After an initial placement of Serbian religiousness in the context of WVS data, a sample of south Serbian university students was compared to student samples from three other religions: Bosnian Muslims, and Slovenian Catholics. When using World Values Survey (WVS) measures, results indicated that the Serbian Orthodox proved to be more religious than irreleligious; when using our own survey data and more complex measures, the Serbian Orthodox proved to be more religious than Slovenian Catholics, but less religious than Bosnian Muslims, although Serbian Orthodox affiliates did surpass the normative means on certain items.
