We explored how different religious attitudes including, extrinsic, intrinsic and quest orientation lead to spiritual qualities using survey method research design. The study aimed to investigate the gender difference in religiosity and spirituality, as well as the association of religiosity with spiritual aspects. The study included undergraduates Muslim students (N=212) from two universities with age range 18-25 (M=21.42, SD=1.97) including Males (n=106) and females (n=106). The results indicated the intrinsic religiosity as a significant predictor of all seven spiritual aspects (meaningfulness, trust, acceptance, care for others, and connectedness with nature, transcendent experience and spiritual activities). Extrinsic was a predictor of transcendent experiences and quest was a predictor of acceptance. The findings suggest that intrinsic religiosity is a significant dimension of religiosity that leads to productive qualities of spirituality. Quest religiosity was not significant predictor of spirituality which is in contrast of the studies conducted in western individual cultures.enReligiositySpiritualityReligious dimensionsMS ThesisThesis
