Practice Reading: Fill in the Blanks (Dropdown) ID: #48082 Religiosity
Instructions
A  well-established  finding  in  psychology  is  that  religiosity  and  intelligence  are  negatively  correlated.  This  means  that,  on  ,  people  who  are  more  religious  tend  to  score  lower  on  intelligence  tests,  and  vice  versa.  However,  this  does  not  mean  that  being  religious  makes  you  less  intelligent,  or  that  being  intelligent  makes  you  less  religious.  Correlation  does  not    causation,  and  there  are  many  factors  that  could  influence  this  relationship.  One  possible  explanation  is  that  people  who  rely  more  on    than  on  analytical  thinking  might  be  more  likely  to  hold  religious  beliefs.  However,  this  does  not  mean  that  religious  people  are  irrational  or  that  non-religious  people  are  rational.  There  are  many  types  and  dimensions  of  religiosity,  and  some  of  them  might  have  positive  effects  on  cognitive  and  mental  health.  For  instance,  one  form  of  religiosity  that  has  been  shown  to      against  cognitive  decline  in  older  adults  is  church  attendance.  Going  to  church  regularly  might  provide  social  and  communal  support,  as  well  as  cognitive  ,  that  could  enhance  brain  function  and  prevent  dementia.
