Religious orientation and Eysenck's personality dimensions: The use of the amended religious orientation scale to examine the relationship between religiosity, psychoticism, neuroticism and extraversion
To address inconsistencies in the literature of the relationship between the intrinsic and extrinsic religious orientation and Eysenck's personality dimensions among England (N = 213) and Northern Ireland (N = 172) university students. Respondents completed an amended version of the A ge-Universal I-E scale and the Abbreviated version of the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire. The results suggest that psychoticism is significantly negatively related to an intrinsic orientation towards religion and suggest that previous inconsistencies in the literature may be a result of the particular measure of religious orientation used.
