Abstract

The concept of GENDER entails cultural and social differences of men and women and is usually considered as a social and cultural construct. RELIGIOSITY also is a construct which includes religious commitments. Both GENDER and RELIGIOSITY are important sociological concepts which have received enormous attention from the sociologists. Undoubtedly, the development and spread of feminism as a pro-women movement as well as religious movements are essential elements of studying the relationship between these two constructs. The present research aims to study the relationship between GENDER and the level and DIMENSIONS of RELIGIOSITY of an individual. The research method utilized in this study is survey which is applied, cross-sectional and comparative. The population consists of 7995 students from YAZD UNIVERSITY including 4850 females and 3145 male students. The sample size is based on cocrun's formula whereby 116 female students and 106 male students are selected to be compared for the level and extent of their RELIGIOSITY. Data is gathered through questionnaire. The researcher makes use of Gluck and Stark model to measure the level of individuals' RELIGIOSITY. According to this model, RELIGIOSITY includes five areas or DIMENSIONS: IDEOLOGICAL, RITUALISTIC, EXPERIMENTAL, intellectual and CONSEQUENTIAL. However, in practice, the intellectual aspect was omitted while other DIMENSIONS remained. The results illustrates that while the level of faithfulness is high among both males and females, girls' tendency towards religion is higher than that of boys. Other than ritual dimension, in all other domains of RELIGIOSITY the difference between boys and girls are statistically meaningful. The findings reveal that the level and scores of RELIGIOSITY in terms of CONSEQUENTIAL, IDEOLOGICAL, and emotional or EXPERIMENTAL aspect is higher in female students than the male students of YAZD UNIVERSITY. The present results are compatible and in line with research findings of Serajzadeh and Pouryoosefi. In the study conducted by Serajzadeh (the measurement of religious attitudes & behaviors of Tehran juveniles), the IDEOLOGICAL dimension received the highest score as compared to all other aspects of RELIGIOSITY. In a similar study carried out by Pouryoosefi, the level and extent of RELIGIOSITY was high in girls.Overall, girls outranked boys in terms of RELIGIOSITY. However, this research does not confirm the study conducted by Taleban in which boys scored higher than girls in different aspects of RELIGIOSITY.
