The study was based on the integration of McCrae and Costa’s theory on religion which stemmed from their five factor theory, the dimensions of the Multidimensional Inventory for Religious/Spiritual Well-Being (RSWB) and Ryff’s Six Core Dimensions of Psychological Well-Being. According to McCrae and Costa (as cited in Espinosa & Mijares, 2014), Religiosity is a cultural adaption resulting from the five factor model of personality. Hennigsgaard & Arnau (2008) found that in a univariate level, religiosity variables show significant correlations with the Big Five Personality Traits. A series of studies that used Eysenck’s three dimensional model of personality found that of the three dimensions (Psychoticism, Extroversion, Neuroticism), only Psychoticism has been found to have a consistent negative correlation to religiosity across a variety of cultures and denominations (Saroglou, 2002) while in studies using the Big Five …show more content…

    Although society has tried to separate religion and spirituality from everyday life, levels of happiness reported are still affected by these factors. David G. Myers, author of The Pursuit of Happiness, lends this correlation to the confidence in the faith and what components a religion can bring to life rather than the truth of the doctrine that one follows. This idea is supported in many Gallup polls and also the personal experience of my family, my friends, and myself. Myers writes that “survey after survey…reveals that religious people more often than nonreligious people report feelings of a happy and satisfied life.” People that are more spiritual almost always answer that they fall in the “very happy” category.
