[Significance of membership in new religious movements for regulation of self concept exemplified by the Hare Krischna movement].

Psychother Psychosom Med Psychol . 1997;47 (1) :21-6

Résumé

222 members of the Hare-Krishna-Movement were investigated with the Narcissism Inventory by Deneke and Hilgenstock (1989). The results show that life in the Hare-Krishna-Movement makes certain defensive functions possible. The Hare Krishnas seem to reach a stabilization of their self experience through idealizing transferences and overemphasizing their value-system. High scores on the scale derealisation/depersonalisation hint at an ego-weakness of the members.
