Answer:
The effects of faith on the personality characteristics of locus of control, optimism, and self-esteem was researched through the use of a survey administered to 54 students and faculty from a small, private Illinois college and 35 students from a small community college in Illinois. Each participant completed a survey indicating demographic data, a shortened version of Rotter’s Locus of Control, Alport’s Life Orientation Scale, Rosenberg’s self-esteem scale, and a faith based scale. The hypothesis that people who rate a high personal relationship with God will be happier was supported with a .001 level of significance. These findings are important because they give insight into a person’s faith and how that relates to their personality characteristics.
