The Relationship between Different Dimensions of Religiosity and Moral Identity in Students of Isfahan University

The object of this research is to study the relationship between the different dimensions of religiosity and moral identity in students of Isfahan University. For this purpose, a quasi-experiment design was used and a sample of 78 members (41 males, 37 females) was selected by random sampling whereupon religiosity measure questionnaire (Aquino,2002) and moral identity scale (Serajzade, 1377) were given to them. Moral identity questionnaire ascertains the scale of moral development in the two aspects of symbolization and internalization. Religiosity measure questionnaire, which has been built on the base of Glock & Stark’s multi-dimensional religiosity theory, studies four aspects of religiosity including belief, sentiment (experimental), consequence (application) and ritual. The results suggest that there is no difference between male and female groups on the basis of moral identity and religiosity scores. Also, the results showed that there is a significant meaningful relationship between religiosity and moral identity total scores of both the sexes. Also there are significant correlations between the sub-scales of symbolization, application and ritual in females and the sub-scales of internalization and belief in males.
