| Zusammenfassung: | The aim of this study was to clarify the association between religion and psychologicalwell-being after controlling for individual differences in personality. Data were provided by a sample of 507 undergraduate students in Canada who completed three instruments: the short-form Francis Scale of Attitude toward Christianity (Francis, Lewis, Philipchalk, Lester, & Brown, 1995), the Satisfaction with Life Scale (Diener, Emmons, Larson, & Griffin, 1985) and the five-factor model short form of the NEO-PI (Costa & McCrae, 1989). These data demonstrated that, when personality was taken into account, an apparent (small but significant) association between religion and psychological well-being vanished. These findings are interpreted against the background of previous studies employing the same index of religiosity alongside various measures of psychological well-being. |
