“…Finally, centrality was a negative predictor of deconversion in youth (Nowosielski and Bartczuk 2017). Centrality was a negative predictor of hedonistic values (Krok 2010) and a positive predictor of the preference of moral and sacred values and meaning in life (Krok 2016b).…”

The centrality of religiosity scale (CRS) is a measure of the importance of religious constructs in personality. The Polish CRS has been applied in more than 40 published studies on the psychology of religion, with over 18,000 total participants. However, no comprehensive overview on the Polish CRS is available. This paper shows how using the CRS sheds light on different patterns in which religion integrates with other psychological variables. It consists of three parts: first, we introduce the Polish adaptation of the CRS; second, we present the review of the research using the Polish CRS; and finally, we provide research results that suggest a curvilinear mechanism for explaining the categories of the centrality of religiosity. Three measures were applied to the research: the CRS, emotions toward God scale, and content of prayer scale-revised. The results indicated that there is a curvilinear relationship between centrality of religiosity and emotions toward God, prayer types, and styles of request prayer (excluding passive request prayer). We determined the changepoints at which the relationship between the centrality of religiosity and the religious contents changes. This finding allowed us to provide empirical confirmation of Huber’s thesis (2003) that there is a different way of operating low, medium, and high scores in centrality, namely marginal, subordinated, and central religiosity. The study also broadens our understanding of each of these types of religiosity.

The phenomenon of religiosity is increasingly often explored by representatives of various scientific disciplines. This is particularly noticeable in the field of the psychology of religion. The issues of human religiosity have been attracting an increasing amount of interest among Polish scholars. The present article presents the main trends illustrating the development of interest in the phenomenon of religiosity in the field of psychology. Both Polish and international contexts are considered. Additionally, the papers included in the special issue of Roczniki Psychologiczne (Annals of Psychology) are outlined. The special issue is devoted to the problems addressed by Polish psychologists interested in the phenomenon of human religiosity.Keywords: psychology of religion; religiosity; interest in religiosity; psychology of religion in Poland.Religion is an important area of life for many people -it is an important element of culture as well as provides meanings and structures to human behaviors and experiences. Survey results confirm this consistently. Both in the United States and in Europe, the number of people declaring themselves as believers exceeds 70% (The Gallup Poll, 2015). Despite the undoubtedly common presence of various manifestations of religiosity in the public sphere and in the course of human life, psychology has, for many years, devoted little attention to
