user’s characteristics on their relevance judgment. The research
method was an analytical survey in which 40 masters students and
graduates of Information and Knowledge Sciences formed the
research population. NEO-personality inventory-revised was used to
investigate the population in 5 factors (Extraversion/ Neuroticism/
Openness to experience/ agreeableness/ Conscientiousness).
Relevance judgment was perfomed on 10 first retrieved records in
Google for 5 keywords that had been searched by the research
population and precision was measured.
Findings showed that users’ relevance judgment is not the same
despite the intervening control; Extraversion and agreeableness have
positive and significant relationship with relevance judgment and
there is not any significant relationship between Neuroticism,
Openness to experience and Conscientiousness with relevance
judgment. In other words, users with characteristics such as
Extraversion and agreeableness retrieved more related records. In
general, some personal characteristics have influence on relevance
judgment. Library and information managers can improve search
process through providing suitable job conditions and suitable
environment for users to search information in better situations.

Purpose: The main purpose of this research is investigation of effect of the users’ religiosity on their relevance
judgment.
Method: This research is practical in terms of purpose and was conducted using the descriptive survey design.
The statistical population of the research consisted of all fourth-level doctoral students at Al-Zahra University,
whose number was 69. Mean and Standard deviation were used to describe the statistical data, and Pearson’s cor-
relation coefficient and simultaneous regression analysis were used to analyze the data. In order to collect informa-
tion about the level of users’ adherence to religiosity dimensions, Glock and Stark’s religiosity questionnaire (1968)
was used which includes 26 items arranged in 4 dimensions of beliefs, emotional, consequential, and ritual. Then,
in order to determine the degree of relevance judgment, 6 simulated work tasks were defined and the most impor-
tant criteria of relevance judgment were evaluated during the execution of work tasks. First, the users searched on
the topic of work tasks in Persian paper databases, including Magiran, SID and Ensani Portal (Iran’s Humanities
Portal), and they selected 10 papers for each task. After reading each scenario and the demand related to it, users
evaluated the papers related to each scenario in a related, somewhat related, unrelated format. Therefore, each user
evaluated 30 papers related to 6 work tasks.
Findings: The findings indicates that among the religiosity dimensions, the interactive behavior of users
showed a higher average than the interactive performance and relevance judgment. Moreover, the average of prac-
tices dimension was the highest, followed by belief dimension, and emotion dimension. Finally, the works dimen-
sion showed the lowest average. The results of multiple regression test showed that users’ ritual and behavioral
dimension (such as worship, prayer, participation in special religious rites, fasting, etc.) and belief dimension and
religious beliefs are effective in increasing relevance judgment, but the two affective and emotional dimensions
have nothing to do with the judgment of users. In other words, despite the change in the emotional dimension of the
users, i.e., the change in the degree of emotions, imaginations and feelings related to having a relationship with a
divine entity such as God or an ultimate reality or a supreme authority, their relevance judgment would not change.
Furthermore, despite the change in the ‘consequences dimension’ of religiosity, i.e., the change in the effects of
religious beliefs, actions, experiences and knowledge on the daily life of users, the level of their relevance judgment
did not show a change.
Originality/value: The present research is the first research that has explored the effect of users’ religiosity
scales on relevance judgment. According to the findings, it is suggested that system designers and experts, in addi-
tion to considering technical issues and hardware and software equipment, should also manage the interactions of
users with the system and consider the different conditions and situations of users. Librarians, while knowing the
society in which the users are located and considering the religious context of the society as well as knowing the
religious approaches of the users, can provide the necessary guidance to them when retrieving information.
Keywords: Effects of Religiosity, Religious practices, Religious beliefs, Religious emotions, Relevance judgment
