3 more recent study from $ran [4] eplored the associa-
tion of religiosity with aniety and depression variables in
a sample of 2* fourth year medical students at the
niversity of #eheran. #he results of the study showed a
significant asso- ciation of 'religious belief ( score and
'total religiosity( score with lower levels of aniety. #he
association between these variables and low levels of
depression reached a tendency to statistical significance.
#heir findings, claim the researchers, support the
hypothesis that religion can be a protective factor against
depression and aniety. #his is an important study since

Anxiety was measured using a ?ebrew version of the =ec%
3niety $nventory. 3 cutoff point of 15 and above was used fordetection of aniety in the sample of high functioning students
Religiosity was measured using a religiosity 8uestionnaire based on
a 8uestionnaire from a recent study that similarly eamined the
association of religiosity with depression and aniety among
medical students in $ran [4]. #he 8uestion- naire ;available on

dents from other faculties reported a significant higher rateof depression and aniety than did medical students. #hese
find- ings are consistent with findings of a study in the
S3 where medical students reported less distress,
depression and aniety compared with law students [2"],
but are inconsistent with a #ur%ish study that found a higher
rate of distress among sec- ond year medical students than
among commerce and physical education students [1"].
#hese differences in findings can be eplained by
