Participants were 725 female and 264 male undergraduates who completed five-factor model personality self-ratings (either the N...

520 |a This study investigated whether the content of people’s images of God or the salience of their God-awareness predicted prosocial behavior over and above personality traits. Participants were 725 female and 264 male undergraduates who completed five-factor model personality self-ratings (either the NEO-FFI or Bipolar Adjective Scale), and the Prosocial Behavior Inventory. Spiritual measures included ratings of God on the Adjective Checklist, and the Faith Maturity Scale. Personality explained a significant amount of variance in prosocial behavior for men and women. Faith maturity added significant explanatory power over and above personality for men and women (17% and 5% respectively), whereas images of God more weakly predicted prosocial behaviors over personality. These findings support the utility of an incremental validity model for identifying spiritual variables that predict important psychosocial outcomes, and suggest that spiritual variables and personality mediate prosocial behavior differentially for men and women.
