This means that the proposed hypothesis is the higher the religious, the higher the anxiety is accepted. The determinant coefficient (r2) of the relationship between the independent variables X and the dependent variable Y is equal to r2 = 0.163 This indicates that religiosity contributes to anxiety by 16.3%. Based on the calculation of the average value of hypothetical and empirical, it can be concluded that religiosity is classified as moderate with a hypothetical mean value of 100 and an empirical mean value of 109.71.
