Abstract
A sample of 236 16- to 19-yr.old female A level students studying in t he north east of England completed the shea form Revised Eysenck Perso nality Questionnaire together with indices of prayer and church attend ance. The data support the view that psychoticism is correlated with s elf-reported church attendance (r = -.15) and self-reported prayer (r = -.15), while scores on neither extraversion nor neuroticism are corr elated with these indices of religiosity.
