Religious belief dramatically lowers probability of adolescent sexual activity: study
Life Site News
Higher levels of religiosity in adolescents dramatically increase the probability that they will remain virgins during high school and college, a new study has concluded. The study, entitled "Religiosity, Self-Control, and Virginity Status in College Students from the 'Bible Belt,'" and published in the September 2010 Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion, found that for every unit increase on its scale of religiosity, the odds of a male remaining a virgin increased by a factor of 3.86. For a female, the odds jumped by a factor of 4.13. To determine "religiosity," the study asked participants to rate their frequency of religious service attendance, frequency of prayer, frequency of reading of religious texts, and the importance of religion in their lives.
