摘要

宗教虔诚程度是人们参与宗教信仰/活动程度的一个指标,也是衡量人们对与性有关的活动(如随意性行为或使用避孕套以避免意外怀孕或性传播感染)的态度的一个指标。本文使用2011/2012年收集的具有全国代表性的横截面数据来检验加纳宗教信仰与从事随意性行为和使用避孕套的可能性之间的关系。采用二元logistic回归分析方法对4168名男性和女性的性行为和随意性伴侣的安全套使用情况进行评估。这项研究基于参考群体理论,该理论认为宗教教义常常决定个人的性行为/态度,并且大多数传统宗教都不鼓励婚前性行为和通奸。这项研究调查了个人表达的宗教信仰对随意性行为的影响,随意性行为被认为是一种通奸行为。人们试图发现宗教信仰是否会影响避孕套的使用,以防止艾滋病毒和其他性传播疾病以及意外怀孕。研究结果表明,与偶尔或不太频繁参加宗教聚会的人相比,每周参加一次以上宗教聚会的人不太可能有随意性伴侣。宗教虔诚程度较低的群体之间没有明显差异。当其他变量被控制后,宗教虔诚程度对有性行为的人使用避孕套没有影响。年龄、性别、教育水平、城乡居住和婚姻状况的差异与随意性伴侣使用避孕套有统计学上的关系。这篇论文的结论是,与随意性伴侣一起使用避孕套可能在很大程度上并不取决于一个人的宗教信仰或其他方面,而是取决于个人基于社会经济地位的风险感知,特别是关于一个人的教育水平。

Religiosity and Condom Use with Casual Sex Partners in Ghana
Level of religiosity is an indicator of the degree of involvement of people in religious beliefs/activities and a measure of attitudes to sexual-related activities, such as casual sex or using condoms to avert unplanned pregnancy or sexually transmitted infections. This paper uses nationally representative cross-sectional data collected in 2011/2012 to examine the relationship between religiosity and the likelihood of engaging in casual sex and condom use in Ghana. A sample of 4,168 males and females was used to assess sexual activities and condom use with casual sexual partner using binary logistic regression analysis. The study was based on the Reference Group Theory which suggests that religious teachings often dictate the sexual behaviors/attitudes of individuals and was informed by the fact that most conventional religions discourage pre-marital sex and adultery. The study examined how religiosity expressed by individuals impacts casual sex, which is considered a form of adultery. An attempt was made to discover if religiosity impacts condom use as a form of protection against HIV and other sexually transmitted infections and unplanned pregnancy. The results indicate that persons who attend religious meetings more than once a week are less likely to have a casual sexual partner compared to others who attend occasionally or less frequently. No differences between groups with lower level of religiosity are apparent. The level of religiosity did not affect condom use among those who have sex, when other variables are controlled for. Differences in age, sex, level of education, rural/urban residency and marital status are statistically related to condom use with a casual sex partner. The paper concludes that condom use with a casual sex partner may not largely depend on how religious or otherwise one may be, but rather on the individual’s risk perception based on a person’s socioeconomic status, particularly with respect to a person’s level of education.
