This paper presents a study in which Welsh's A and R scale scores have been related to religiousness. The A factor has been defined as "anxiety proneness versus ego resiliency" while the R factor is defined as "impulsivity versus control." Subjects were 150 college students, 91 females and 59 males. The sole statistical technique utilized was canonical correlation, which yields both a univariate and a multivariate correlational matrix. Results support the speculation that religiousness and lowered anxiety and heightened repression (control) are more strongly related in males than in females. Implication of the findings both for personality (adolescent) theory and further research are briefly discussed. It appears that the religious dimension most highly correlated with A and R, in females as well as males, is the phenomenological dimension of Nearness to God. (Author/PFS)
