Modeling Religiosity: An Investigation of Scores
as a Function of Conscientiousness and Openness (sponsored
by Dr. Curt Burgess)
The study we conducted investigated the effects of
Conscientiousness and Openness on two religiosity
scales: Self-Reported Religiosity and the Tobacyk
and Milford (1983) Religiosity Subscale (T&M).
Conscientiousness and Openness were hypothesized to
have an effect on religiosity. Despite finding a strong
correlation between the two religiosity scales, differences
could be noted with reference to the sensitivity of
the T&M Subscale to Openness and the presence
of a reliable interaction. Although there was an interaction
between Conscientiousness and Openness for both scales,
it was marginal with the Self-report Religiosity scale.
We concluded that Open people who are Conscientious
might not have produced as large of a reliable difference
in scores as Closed people who are Conscientious due
to traditional religious partiality in the T&M
Subscale. |
