title: Relationship between God-image and religious behaviors.
abstract: This study examined the relationship between God-image and religious behaviors. Participants were 344 undergraduate students at a private midwestern university. Analysis showed strong correlations among three aspects of God-image (presence, acceptance, and challenge) and six items that measured religious practices and religiously motivated volitional behaviors. The findings held when data were controlled for racial and religious diversity. As such, these results differed from an earlier study indicating religious practices to be independent of God-image.
