Abstract
A total of 123 males and 156 females aged between 12 and 16 years in Wales completed the Junior Eysenck Personality Questionnaire Revised and the Francis Scale of Attitude toward Christianity. After controlling for sex differences, religiosity was found to be independent of both extraversion and neuroticism, but significantly and negatively correlated with psychoticism.
