| Summary: | This paper reviews selected articles on the role of religiosity in two main aspects: personality
development and protective mechanism against disobedience. In the first part, several studies
consistently found that religiosity and personality are highly correlated. Agreeableness and
Honesty-Humility are two main personality characteristics that reflect the personality of religious
people. These findings correspond to the existing literature on Islamic principle of akhlak vis-àvis
personality that indicated the desirable and virtuous characteristics of people with faith. The
second part is on the role of religiosity as a protective mechanism against various acts of
disobedience. Reviews of selected work indicated that generally, higher religiosity cause the lower
involvement in alcoholic drinking, tax evasion, depressive syndrome and drug usages. New studies
on exploring the underlying process on causation effects of religiosity from Islamic perspective,
on the personality development and as protective mechanism against different forms of
disobediences are thus, strongly recommended. |
