Kelly Osariemen Okpamen, Sunday Ojonugwa Ameh

Abstract: The study examines the influence of gender, educational attainment and marital instability as predictors of religious affiliation among married teaching staff of Nigerian Universities. Using convenience sampling approach, data was collected from 324 married Participants whose ages ranges between 20-60 years. Marital Instability Index (MII) and Religious Affiliation Scale (RAS) were used for data collection. Hypotheses were tested using SPSS version 20.Genderand educational attainment shows to be positively and negatively influence religious affiliation respectively, while marital instability on the other hand, was found not to be a significant predictor of religious affiliation. Finally, there was a significant interactive effect of gender, educational status and marital instability on religious affiliation. Based on the findings, it was recommended that teaching staff should avoid allowing their educational attainment and marital conflict affect their level of religious devotion and commitment to their faith.
