An Investigation into the Relationship Between Aspects of Religiosity and Marital Functioning Among Evangelical Christians

Korb, Laurie Lynn

Abstract Details

2007, Master of Science, Miami University, Family and Child Studies.
The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between several dimensions of religiosity and marital functioning among married couples living in the Western New York area. Participants were 111 individuals from one Evangelical Christian church. A scale, Integration of Biblical Principles, was developed and tested for this study. Several aspects of religiosity were found to be correlated with marital functioning, but integration of Biblical principles had the strongest association. Regression analysis determined number of years married, belief construct, and integration of Biblical principles were the best predictors of marital functioning. As hypothesized, the integration dimension of religiosity, or application, is the best predictor of marital functioning compared with other religiosity variables tested. Implications for refinement of the Integration scale and for the usefulness of the study results are discussed.
