Download or read book Religious Orientation and Sexual Behavior of College Students written by Elizabeth Anne Stoddard and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to clarify the relationship between religiosity and sexual behavior of college students by using a measure of religious orientation to define religiosity. Religious orientation refers to individuals' motivations for religious involvement and personal faith. Religious orientations are characterized as being extrinsic, intrinsic, indiscriminately proreligious or nonreligious. Four null hypotheses were formulated. It was hypothesized that there would be no significant difference in rates of premarital sexual intercourse or participation in oral-genital sexual activity between subjects of differing religious orientation. It was also hypothesized that the demographic variables of gender, grade point average, academic classification and ethnicity were not significantly related to religious orientation and virginity or religious orientation and participation in oral-genital sexual activity. The sample consisted of 235 never married, heterosexual college students aged 17 to 24, enrolled at a west coast independent university. Subjects completed three selfreport instruments: the Religious Orientation Scale, the Lifetime Sexual Behaviors Scale and a demographic survey. Data were analyzed using Pearson chi square, Fisher two-tail tests, t-tests and logistical regression. Results indicate that there are significant differences in the sexual behavior of students of differing religious orientations. Intrinsic students were significantly less likely to participate in premarital sexual intercourse or oral-genital sexual activity. For females, students with GPA's of 3.0 or less, non-first year students, first year students and sophomores grouped together, seniors, nonseniors, Roman Catholics, non-Agnostics, non-Atheists, Caucasians, non-African-Americans, non-Latinos and non- Asian/Pacific Islanders, the relationship between intrinsic religious orientation and virginity is significant. The relationship between participation in oral-genital sex and intrinsic religious orientation is significant for non-first year students, non-Roman Catholics, non-Agnostics, Caucasians, non-African Americans and non-Latinos. Other findings indicate that students stating that religion was an important factor in their lives were less likely to engage in premarital sexual intercourse. Intrinsic students were significantly more likely to be virgins than nonvirgins. Scores on the Intrinsic Scale of the Religious Orientation Survey and acadeniic class were significant predictors of virginity when combined with intrinsicness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important book introduces Arnett’s emerging adulthood theory to scholars and practitioners in higher education and student affairs, illuminating how recent social, cultural, and economic changes have altered the pathway to adulthood. Chapters in this edited collection explore how this theory fits alongside current student development theory, the implications for how college students learn and develop, and how emerging adulthood theory is uniquely suited to address challenges facing higher education today. Emerging Adulthood and Higher Education provides important recommendations for administrators, counselors, and student affairs personnel to provide effective programs and services to facilitate their emerging adults’ journeys through this formative stage of life.
Download or read book A New Approach to Religious Orientation written by Stephen W. Krauss and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Commitment-Reflectivity Circumplex (CRC) model of religious orientation is introduced and the results from a series of model testing experiments are reviewed. The CRC model was developed through a series of studies in the United States and Romania and was created in an effort to reduce the theoretical and empirical difficulties associated with the traditional Allportian religious orientation models and measures. Toward this end, the difficulties associated with the Allportian religious orientation models are reviewed, along with how the CRC model attempts to address them. Next, the CRC model is introduced and a list of its predictions are given and compared to those of the Allportian models. The results of 10 model testing studies using multidimensional scaling are then reviewed. In these studies, the CRC model, which posits that all religious orientation can be located along dimensions of commitment (importance) and reflectivity (complexity), is found to be more accurate than the Allportian models in both the U.S. and Romania. Based on these studies, the meaning and interpretation of the Allportian measures are reviewed and new interpretations are suggested. Lastly, the relationships between religious orientation, mental health, personality, ideology, and prejudice are explored. In every area, the CRC model, and the measures based on it, show superior predictive abilities to traditional approaches in both the United States and Romania.

Download or read book Faith from a Positive Psychology Perspective written by Cindy Miller-Perrin and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-10-01 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book highlights religious faith from a positive psychology perspective, examining the relationship between religious faith and optimal psychological functioning. It takes a perspective of religious diversity that incorporates international and cross-cultural work. The empirical literature on the role of faith and cognition, faith and emotion, and faith and behaviour is addressed including how these topics relate to individuals’ mental health, well-being, strength, and resilience. Information on how these faith concepts are relevant to the broader context of relational functioning in families, friendships, and communities is also incorporated. Psychologists have traditionally focused on the treatment of mental illness from a perspective of repairing damaged habits, damaged drives, damaged childhoods, and damaged brains. In recent years, however, many psychological researchers and practitioners have attempted to re-focus the field away from the study of human weakness and damage toward the promotion of a positive psychology of well-being among individuals, families, and communities. One domain within the field of positive psychology is the study of religious faith as a human strength that has the potential to enhance individuals’ optimal existence and well-being.
Download or read book Religion Spirituality and Identity written by Matthew Paul Burchett and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The exploration of religious and spiritual identity in higher education is a critical and often misunderstood component of graduate preparation. The problem is whether spirituality or religion is provided equal academic consideration as other aspects of both a graduate students’ personal identity or their preparation to assist students with their own process of exploration. Prominent scholars have joined a collective dialogue, and studies of religion and spirituality are slowly gaining traction in the higher education landscape (see Astin, Astin, & Lindholm, 2011a & 2011b; Chickering, Dalton, & Auerbach, 2006; Dalton & Crosby, 2006). This increased attention to matters of spirituality and religion on college campuses has also identified gaps in the research: What are colleges and universities doing to prepare personnel, particularly student affairs professionals, to engage students on matters of religion and spirituality? Are aspiring professionals attaining a similar knowledge foundation of religious and spiritual identity development as they are of gender, race, ethnicity, or sexual orientation? This study focused primarily on the experiences and aspirations of second-year graduate students in elite Masters of Education programs with an emphasis on higher education or college student personnel services. The study was concerned with their religious or non-religious background, its relationship to the student-participant worldview, and their decision to enter the field. This was particularly important in comparison to participants’ perceived importance of other components of identity development (gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation) as perceptions will shape the work of these future practitioners

Download or read book Influencers of Religious Engagement in the First Year of College written by Harold V. Hartley (III.) and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to identify factors that influence a deepening of students' religious engagement in the first year of college. Recent studies have challenged the findings of more than three decades of research that found attending college leads to a decline in students' religious beliefs and practices. This study extends those recent findings by exploring the factors that lead to increased religious engagement. Multiple linear regression was employed to measure predictor effects on three measures of religious engagement in the spring semester, as well as to determine antecedents of religious involvement and strength of religious faith in the fall semester. This study found that religious engagement in high school positively influenced fall religious engagement, which in turn positively influenced spring religious engagement. A proposed theory of religious engagement, rooted in Astin's Theory of Involvement, is advanced. Additional findings, as well as implications for policy and practice are discussed. (Contains 5 tables and 1 figure.).
