Stones, Christopher R.

Small Group Behavior, v19 n1 p109-16 Feb 1988

Examined the structure of semantic space (Evaluative-Potency-Activity) among four socioreligious communities in South Africa: Jesus People, Hare Krishna Devotees; Maharaj Ji Premies; and Catholic Seminarians. Found significant differences among all groups, particularly in semantic structure between the Jesus People and the Hare Krishna groups; and in Potency between the Seminarians and the Hare Krishna Devotees.
