Statistical analysis reveals religiosity negatively predicts sexual permissiveness in participants, suggesting attitudes toward sexuality are influenced by religious norms.
Sexuality is a fundamental aspect of human identity, influenced by multiple psychosocial variables. This study investigates the relationships between sexual permissiveness, religiosity, education, and sexual desire (interpersonal and solitary). Using a sample of 82 participants, statistical analysis revealed that religiosity is a significant negative predictor of sexual permissiveness (b = -0.435, p< .001), while education has no significant effect. Sexual permissiveness is positively correlated with interpersonal and solitary sexual desire (r= 0.560 andr = 0.562, p< .001). Reliability analysis revealed a Cronbach's Alpha coefficient of 0.856, indicating good internal consistency of the items used. These results suggest that religious norms play a key role in shaping attitudes towards sexuality, while education is not a direct predictor. The findings of this study provide important insights into the factors that influence sexual behaviors and attitudes.
