The present study was designed to investigate the possible relationship between religiosity as cognitive variable and the occurrence and severity of nonpsychotic, reactive depression within the paradigm of cognitive theory. Religious orientation, religious belief content, and locus of control were investigated to assess their relationship to guilt tendencies and depression tendency. The basic cognitive elements of religiosity were used as predictor variables in multiple regression analyses of the criterion variables of guilt and depression tendencies. Pearson correlations were also performed to determine the strength of the relationships between religiosity variables and guilt and depression tendencies.
