Abstract

With samples of college students, church members, and seminary students, the hypothesis that Batson's measure of quest faith would relate positively to conflict and anxiety was supported. Psychometric problems with the quest measure prompted construction of an alternate form with improved reliability. This resulted in associations with other variables more in line with Batson's original conceptualization. Problems still exist, but questions are raised regarding the meaning of conflict and anxiety in the context of social and religious deviance. Additional research directions are suggested.
