Abstract	:	This study examined the associations amongst religiosity, exercise self-efficacy, and physical activity in female Muslim college students 18-35 years old attending Southern Universities in the United States. Religiosity was measured using the Psychological Measure of Islamic Religiousness, the International Physical Activity Questionairre measured physical activity, Physical Exercise Self-Efficacy scale measured exercise self-efficacy, and Hijab Measure measured modesty. The study also examined associations amongst physical activity behavior and demographic covarites such as age, marital status, employment status, student classification, and residence while attending college. Together, these scales comprised the 2015 Female Health Survey which was adminstered online using Qualtrics. This study was conducted in two phases. The first phase consisted of the pilot study in which cognitive interviews were conducted. Five participants were recruited via the snowball sampling, and changes suggested to the survey during the interviews were considered. The second phase of the study utilized a quasi-experimental cross-sectional research design in which data was gathered online at one point in time from 140 female Muslim college students that were all recruited via snowball and purposeful sampling.
