Abstract
Cross-sectional studies suggest that of the Big Five personality traits, agreeableness and conscientiousness correlate most strongly with religiosity. However, these studies do not provide information about the temporal within-person associations between traits and religiosity. In the present study, the random-intercept cross-lagged panel model was used to examine the temporal within-person associations between traits and religiosity. A large American sample collected over about 2 decades was used. The within-person results showed that religiosity was not predictive of future trait levels. Of the traits, only openness was associated with future religiosity. A higher than typical level of openness was associated with a lower than typical level of religiosity after about a decade.
