- Psychology of Religion in the World Raymond F. Paloutzian Filosofía International Interdisciplinary Global Pespective General Psychology Psychology of Religion The psychology of religion used to be a small and little known field. Although a few pockets of work in the area were done when Psychology began, it was functionally nonexistent for 1/3 of psychology’s history, and received little attention for most of the rest of it. However, in the past 20 years the field has become vast in scope. It now intersects all subfields of general psychology. Also, the psychology of religion no longer exists only in Western countries. It is now an international field with research being conducted worldwide. This article summarizes this trend and documents psychology of religion in the world and in Brazil as a part of it. The need for a multilevel interdiscipli - nary approach to research and theory is highlighted, as a way to synthesize knowledge of religiousness cross-culturally and trans-religiously. Future research should invoke a meaningmaking model in order to examine not merely observable religious behaviors, beliefs, or experiences, but their underlying roots, i.e., their meanings and attributions made about them. Such research can help us eliminate barriers between disciplines, cultures, religions, and nations. 2017 artículo científico 1984-3755 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=449755229002 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4497 Revista Pistis & Praxis: Teologia e Pastoral application/pdf Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Paraná Revista Pistis & Praxis: Teologia e Pastoral (Brasil) Num.1 Vol.9
