Abstract

The present study assessed the religious attitude, the interaction between religiosity and psychology education, and the physical and psychological wellbeing of 168 psychology students. Positive correlations between religiosity and wellbeing; negative positioning of psychology teachers facing the religiosity; and conflict between the religious beliefs of the students and some psychology approaches were found. The education in psychology was considered as a possible stressful event that could make the conflict between religiosity and education in psychology became a risk factor. The positive wellbeing was considered as evidence of health. It is discussed the role of the psychology teachers in promoting health and it is proposed that preventive actions were developed for the health of psychology students.
