  • The problem addressed in this research was to understand the cultural schema(s) that are utilized in meaning-making as people identify and interpret life experiences related to call. The population studied is adult students in a Pentecostal/charismatic university in Los Angeles, California. This research utilizes a triangulation of methods approach (Tashakkori and Teddlie 1998) and draws from two theories in cognitive anthropology, cultural schema theory (D'Andrade 1987; Quinn 2005b; Strauss and Quinn 1997) and cultural consensus theory (Romney, Batchelder, and Weller 1987; Romney, Weller, and Batchelder 1986; Weller and Romney 1988). Data elicitation tools are based on strategies developed early in cognitive anthropology for the investigation of cognitive domains along with a vignette exercise. Data analysis took place in two stages with data functioning both as a context of discovery and a context of verification (D'Andrade 2005, 85). People in the research context demonstrate a cultural schema of call that includes four core items: God as caller, the individual as called, the role or task as calling, and knowing as the essential link. Once these four core items were present, a second level of common items was demonstrated; the common elements were confirmation, giftedness, time or duration, and experience. This cultural schema of call was utilized by the population in relation to additional schemas including pastor, leader, family, church, ministry, and work. Indications of underlying foundational cultural schemas were also present including self, success, and status. Findings of this research are discussed in terms of the implications for call as a process of meaning-making and the limitations of biblical/theological material for making sense of experiences related to call. Implications for leadership research and cognitive anthropology research are discussed along with suggestions for the leader formation practitioner's engagement with cultural schemas.
