Profiling Music Students: Personality and Religiosity

8 St Swithuns Close, East Grinstead, United Kingdom, RHI9 3BBrosamund{at}bourke8.freeserve.co.uk

Musicians tend to be more sensitive than population norms (Kemp, 1996). Additionally, low psychoticism and tender-mindedness are consistently associated with indices of religion. This suggested the hypothesis that musicians may be more inclined to be religious. A sample of 350 music students completed the Francis Attitude to Christianity Scale and the short form of the Revised Eysenck Personality Questionnaire. The data demonstrated that both male and female music students are more extravert than men and women in general. Female music students are also more tender-minded and more neurotic than women in general. Male music students are also more religious than men in general.
