Purpose ; In Japan Buddhism coexists together with Shintoism, Christianity and so on, and in many cases Buddhism and Shintoism are put together in individual religiosity. Christianity is overwhelmingly superior in Canada, though it has divided into many sects now. The purpose of our study is to clarify the developmental differences of religiosity in adolescent under such circumstances in both countries. Method ; Religiosity consists oi compounds in multi-dimensional religious experience. We thought religiosity to affect behaviors in the following regions according to the careful and theoretical analysis, then a questionnaire was made, which consisted of totally 45 items. A. Religious Belief and Faith 1. General Religious Belief (6 items) 2. Credal Assent (6 items) 3. Religion and Science (5 items) 4. Faith (5 items) 5. Church (6 items) B. Religious Practices 1. Religious Experience (5 items) 2. Religious Acts a. Private Worship (Devotionalism) (5 items) b. Public Worship (Ritual Involvement) (4 items) c. Magic (3 items) The questionnaire was especially considered in the following points. 1. The contents of each statement is in common with Buddhism, Shintoism and Christianity. 2. Both expressions in Japanese and in English are fitted for each life and custom in two countries. Subjects include 275 Japanese students (male 131, female 144) and 77 Canadian students (male 23, female 54). We investigated on April, 1983 and on April, 1984 to the Japanese, and Canadians are examined on March, 1986.Results; The regions the Japanese Adolescent gave a higher point in religiosity were Credal Assent and Magic. It is worthy of note that "Visiting a grave on fixed religious days" in the Ritual Involvement especially gets a high point. The Canadian Adolescent showed high points of religiosity in the regions of Religious Belief, Faith, Church, Devotionalism and Ritual Involvement. Religious Experience alsc showed a little higher. The Canadian Adolescent tend to express clearly "Yes or No" answer to the items oi questionnaire on the Religiosity, but the Japanese Adolescent don't respond like that. They often showed a tendency to reserve a conclusion. For example, it is evident that we check the answer to the items such as "A-10, God's Continual Love and Care," "A-11, God's Salvation," "A-21, A Duty to help those who are confused about Religion," and "A-26, Church seeks to impose a lot of worn-out Dogmas and medieval Superstitions," in addition to the region of "Science and Religion." We can consider the above-mentioned respects as the influence on the religion in the community the Japanese and the Canadian adolescents belong to, that is, as the tenet of Buddhism, Shintoism and Christianity.
