Literature on rituals and religious stances

This list of books and papers is based on the presentation given by Sarah Demmrich at the DoktorantInnen Kolloquium

• Roy A. Rappaport, Ritual and Religion in the Making of Humanity, Cambridge 1999.
• Thomas Luckmann, Die unsichtbare Religion, Frankfurt am Main (STW) 1991.
• Heiner Barz, Postsozialistische Religion: Am Beispiel der jungen Generation in den Neuen Bundesländern (Jugend und Religion), 1993.
• Martin Riesebrodt, Cultus und Heilsversprechen, 2007.
• James J. Gross, Handbook of Emotion Regulation, 2007.

Dipl Psych Demmrich also mentioned the following tests

• the PANAS for affect measures (now PANAS-X)
• the FEEL-KJ questionaire for determining emotional regulation in children and juveniles
the Mysticism Scale in Hood, Ralph W. Jr. 1975. The Construction and Preliminary Validation of a Measure of Reported Mystical Experience, in: Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion 14(1), p.29-41, which is in turn based on the research by Walter Terence Stace, Mysticism and Philosophy, London 1961.
• the Tellegen Absorption Scale described in Ritz & Dahme (1995)

The Ekstase Scale (Wolfredd 2013) was not findable given that information.

In the discussion, Prof. Danz pointed out that some of the considerations in

• Monika Wohlrab-Sahr, Religionslosigkeit als Thema der Religionssoziologie, in: Pastoraltheologie 90: 152-167.

seemed to be lacking from the research design.
