Abstract
The role of religiosity, a cognitive-level personality variable, was examined in relation to other personality attributes (values, attitudes, and beliefs) and to involvement in normative transgressions (early sexual experience, marijuana use, delinquent-type behavior) in samples of high school and college youth. An eight-item measure of religiosity was construct validated and then correlated with the measures in the personality, perceived environment, and behavior systems of Problem Behavior Theory. Results showed that variation in religiosity was significantly related to variation in involvement in problem behavior, and that religiosity serves as a personal control against such involvement.
