Abstract
This study aims to analyze qualitatively the people’s dysfunctional religiosity for well-being. The participants of this study were 6 the clergy and 6 believers (devotes). The clergy included three pastors of protestant churches, two Buddhist monks (male and females), and one Won-Buddhist monk. Six devotes included two Protestants, two Catholics, and two Buddhist. The age of the clergy was ranged from 45 to 61, while the age of devotes was ranged from 27 to 65. There were one female in the clergy and three females in devotes. Most of them reported they have many siblings and various reason and motivation for being religious persons. Data gathered from narrative interviews were analyzed with techniques based on Giorgi’s phenomenological strategies and procedures. Twenty two topics derived from their assertions and statements, nine main meanings were classified based on those topics. Main meaning were reward-seeking religiosity, inferiority revealed religiosity, selfish religiosity, blind or unconditional religiosity, asocial religiosity, inactive religiosity, inexperienced religiosity, emotionally problematic religiosity, and cognitively problematic religiosity. Based on derived topics and main meaning, suggestions for further studies and information of strategies for promoting well-being of religious persons could be discussed.
