This study deals with the effect of the degree of religiosity on attitudes toward and experience with sex and contraception among university students. Students defined their religious beliefs on the poles from orthodox religion to opposed-to-religion. Data were gathered by an anonymous questionnaire on sexual activity, attitudes toward sex, unwanted pregnancy and contraception. Orthodox and observant students left questions on sex unanswered. Female students were sexually active and used contraception in inverse relationship to their degree of religiosity. There was no parallel finding for males. The more religious the student the less sex was considered contributory to the relationship and the acceptance of abortion declined, but even among religious female students 48% chose abortions as a solution to an unwanted pregnancy.
本研究探讨了宗教虔诚程度对大学生性观念、性经历及避孕态度的影响。学生们将自己的宗教信仰定位在从正统宗教到反宗教的两极之间。通过一份关于性活动、性观念、意外怀孕及避孕的匿名问卷收集数据。正统和虔诚的学生对性相关问题未作答。女学生的性活跃程度及避孕措施的使用与她们的宗教虔诚程度呈反比。男学生则没有类似的情况。学生越虔诚，就越不认为性有助于维持恋爱关系，对堕胎的接受度也越低，但即便在虔诚的女学生中，仍有48%的人选择堕胎来解决意外怀孕问题。
