| Summary: | This study, using a sample of 821 college students at three different universities, attempted to elaborate the relationship between religiosity (ideological commitment assessed by a five item Guttman-type scale) and attitudes toward induced abortion for seven situational conditions (woman's health endangered, rape, serious defect in child, low income, unmarried, want no more children, and incest). Controls for sex (as gender) and two Guttman-type scales designed to measure attitudes toward other types of fertility control (one scale dealt with coercive controls on fertility while the other assessed a more traditional endorsement of the preventive and educational orientation), produced expected results on the zero-order relationship between ideological commitment and attitudes toward induced abortion. |
