Worship Styles
©Arlene R. Taylor PhD
To some degree, worship style preferences can be generalized based on a person's brain lead, although it is understood that many people choose to worship outside a building or body of theology.
In addition, individuals do not always follow their innate preferences. There can be many reasons for this, such as:
- A strong need to meet the expectations of others
- Living in an altered brain state
- Subconsciously absorbed attitudes and beliefs, often from early childhood
- A perceived need to conform to friendship groups
- Self-esteem issues involving a need to be right or to be in control
- A desire to obtain a perceived reward
- The need to meet expectations of religiously-affiliated employers or community
- The lack of opportunity within driving distances
- A desire to avoid punishment
- Et cetera
