| Summary: | A study was made of the relationship between religious commitment and attitudes toward premarital sexual permissiveness. Using a sample of 187 college students, five dimensions of religious commitment were measured by the Likert technique and tested for significance of relationship to attitudes toward premarital sexual permissiveness. It was hypothesized that the composite measure of religious commitment and each of the five sub-scales of religious commitment would be inversely related to attitudes toward premarital sexual permissiveness. Each of the hypotheses tested was supported at the .05 level of significance. This finding supported the hypothesis that religious commitment is a multidimensional variable. |
