“…While Francis, Pearson, Carter and Kay (1981b) reported an initial positive correlation between neuroticism and altitude towards religion, they found that this correlation disappears after controlling for sex differences. Other studies which failed to report a signifIcant relationship between religiosity and Eysenckian measures of neuroticism in either direction include those by Nias (1973), Wilson and Brazendale (1973), Pearson and Sheffield (1976), Powell and Stewart (1978), Chlewinski (1981), Francis, Pearson and Kay (1983), Caird (1987), Francis, Lankshear and Pearson (1989), Choudhary (1989), Robinson (1990) and Francis and Bennett (1991).…”

Religion and mental health among Hindu young people in England

Personality and religion: Applying cattell’s model among secondary school pupils

“…The studies have been integrated by employing the same index of religiosity--the Francis Scale of Attitude toward Christianity--in either the junior (Francis, 1989) or adult form . Within the United Kingdom, studies have been conducted among 8-11 year olds (Robbins, Francis, & Gibbs, 1995), 11 year olds (Francis, Lankshear, & Pearson, 1989), 12-16 year olds (Kay, 1981;Francis, Pearson, & Kay, 1983a.. 1983bFrancis & Montgomery, 1992), 15-16 year olds (Francis, Pearson, Carter, & Kay, 1981a, 1981bFrancis & Pearson, 1985a, 1985b, 1988Francis, 1992), 16-18 year olds (Wilcox & Francis, 1997;Fearn, 1999;Francis & Fearn, 1999), and among adults (Francis & Bennett, 1992: Francis, 1991White, Joseph, & Neil, 1995;Carter, Kay, & Francis, 1996).
