Abstract
The article presents a theoretical and empirical relationship between a person’s attitude toward the Christian doctrine and their religiosity as well as personality variables. Two groups which signifi cantly diff ered in the level of acceptance of the Christian doctrine (Scale of Coherence of Religious Convictions) were compared in terms of several aspects of religiosity (measured using Post-Critical Beliefs Scale, Scale for Self-evaluation of Religiousness, and scales of acquaintance with the Bible) and several aspects of personality (measured using Rosenberg’s Self-Esteem Scale, Francis Psychological Type Scales, and Ten Item Personality Inventory-PL). Both compared groups varied signifi cantly with regard to Orthodoxy, Second Naivity, and External Critique (PCBS), self-evaluation of religiousness (SSR), contact frequency to the Bible, and self-esteem (RSES), as well as to Agreeableness (TIPI-PL). The respondents who more intensively asserted the three dimensions of Christian doctrine achieved signifi cantly higher scores for the following variables: Orthodoxy, Second Naivity
(PCBS), self-evaluation of religiousness (SSR),Extraversion, Agreeableness (TIPIPL) and self-esteem (RSES). Respondents with a lower level of assertion of the Christian doctrine achieved signifi cantly higher scores for the External Critique (PCBS). In order to gain more understanding of the achieved results correlation coeffi cients between the measured variables were calculated.
