abstract note	To determine the relation of religious behavior to certain areas of personality (e.g. neuroticism, spontaneity, worldmindedness), the author isolated dimensions of personal and religious behavior by factor analysis and interrelated them by canonical analysis. Characteristics of religious behavior and personality-religious interaction differ among Jews, Catholics, Protestants, Bahá'ís and non-affiliates. The Bahá'í interaction redefines religion. The findings are discussed in terms of the definition of religion, psychosocial variables to which religion is related, differences among religious groups, and unity through religion. Studies of religion must distinguish between independent dimensions of religious behavior and their differential correlation with personality in different religious groups.
