Research has shown that scientists in areas which treat religion as an object of study are less likely to be religious.

520 |a Research has shown that scientists in areas which treat religion as an object of study are less likely to be religious. It has been suggested that similar relationships might exist between different specializations within psychology, but, paradoxically, that individual psychologists who consider religion in the course of their work would be more religious than others. A 2 percent random sample of all members of the American Psychological Association was sent a questionnaire requesting information about personal religiosity, type of work as a psychologist, scholarly values, and related attitudes. The final response rate was 71 percent of the original sample (N = 555). The first hypothesis was not confirmed. Psychologists in areas which study religion were no more, nor less, religious than those in areas which do not study religion. The second hypothesis was confirmed. Psychologists who considered religious phenomena in the course of their professional activity were more likely to be religious than those who did not. The overall level of religiosity among psychologists was much lower than that of the general population and academicians in general, which confirmed previous findings.
