Abstract

A sample of 158 churchgoers attending eight Anglican churches in the United Kingdom completed the abbreviated Revised Eysenck Personality Questionnaire, together with the Francis Scale of Attitude toward Christianity in order to replicate an earlier study by Carter, Kay and Francis (1996). The data confirm that scores of attitude toward Christianity were significantly negatively related to psychoticism, but neither to extraversion nor neuroticism scores.
