El objetivo del trabajo radica en llevar a cabo una revisión sobre el estado actual de las investigaciones rejerentes a los aspectos psicosociales de la religión.
Se comienza planteando los problemas que ello extraña: escaseZ de investigaciones rigurosas, connotaciones ideológicas de los planteamientos y estrategias, diversas y contrapuestas acepciones de términos elementales, etc.
Se aborda la polémica que ba enfrentado a psicólogos y teólogos, que, a pesar de su poca operatividad, ha supuesto un foco de interés.
Se analiza la multidimensionalidad de las actitudes religiosas, aportaciones realizadas al respecto y los instrumentos de medida que han gomado de mayor predicamento.
Se concluye con la exposición panorámica de las investigaciones actuales más relevantes sobre el tema, señalando cómo se han ocupado básicamente de correlacionar las actitudes religiosas o la religiosidad con diversas variables de personalidad, como autoritarismo, neuroticismo, autoestima, etc.
