Abstract

Religiosity is an underestimated variable that is studied as
pathology instead of using positive psychological methodology.
The intentions of this study were to correct these problems by
comparing religiosity to psychological well-being, expecting a
positive correlation. Participants consisted of 35 college students
(26 females and 9 males) in an introductory level psychology
class at a regional, midwestem university. The ages ranged
between 18 and 42 (M = 23.54, SD = 6.89). Completing the study
consisted of taking two surveys (one for both variables) online.
The results did not support the hypothesis as there was no
observed relationship between religiosity and psychological wellbeing
(r(34) = .001, p = .99). There were limitations to this
research that advocate and provide suggestions for further
research.
