Abstract

The short form Revised Eysenck Personality Questionnaire was completed by 126 undergraduate students together with the Francis scale of attitude towards Christianity. The data are consistent with the findings from a series of studies employing the same measure of religiosity among school pupils. According to these findings there is an inverse relationship between psychoticism and religiosity, while neither neuroticism nor extraversion is either positively or negatively related to religiosity. These findings are discussed in terms of Eysenck's theory relating personality to social attitudes and in light of discrepant findings proposed by other studies conducted among adult samples. Suggestions are made for further research.
