Abstract
A sample of 923 churchgoers completed the abbreviated form of the Eyse nck Personality Questionnaire and rated the extent to which fun and hu mour contributed towards their experience of good worship. The data de monstrate that an appreciation of fun and humour in worship is positiv ely related to extraversion and negatively related to the lie scale, b ut unrelated to neuroticism and psychoticism.
