Abstract :
Abstract: The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between the factors and facets of the five factor model of personality with religiosity (Belief/Practice, Islamic moral orientation, inclusion of transcendence, and exclusion of transcend-ence). 378 undergraduates were selected randomly and completed the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R), Islamic Religious Orientation Questionnaires and Duriez’s Post-Critical Belief Scale. Following previous studies, all the religious variables correlated positively with the factors of conscientiousness and agreeableness. In addition, extraversion was positively related to all the religious variables. Openness was positively related only to Islamic moral orientation. All religious variables except for inclusion of transcendence seemed to be negatively associated with neuroticism. Regression analysis showed that among the five factors, conscientiousness, agreeableness and emotional stability predicted Islamic moral orientation and in the facets level, straightforwardness, deliverance, and Impul-siveness, were the greatest predictors of Islamic moral orientation and inclusion of transcendence.
