Balswick, Jack O. and Balkwell, James W., "Religious Orthodoxy and Emotionality," Review of Religious Research, 19 (Spring, 1978), 308-319.


Abstract:

The religiously orthodox feel and express more love and happiness than persons of low religious orthodoxy, who feel and express more hate. Sadness appears unrelated to religious orthodoxy. Similarly, institutionally based socioemotional values are more firmly held by the orthodox than others, while non- institutionally based values are held equally firm.
