Abstract
Performances on measures of field dependence, locus of control, tolerance for ambiguity, and autonomic perception were compared for 11 members of the Hare Krishna movement, 15 Divine Light Mission members, 22 high and low marijuana placebo responders, and 16 university students. The members of the religious groups were less tolerant of ambiguity than the other groups. An hypothesis that the religious subjects would score like the high placebo responders, reflecting a similar reliance on external cues to define internal state, was rejected. Members of the religious movement, however, did have drug-related experiences similar to those of the volunteers for the drug study and unlike those of the college students.
