| Abstract: | The authors survey whether ethical attitudes are affected by religiosity (definition based on church attendance) and whether ethical attitudes are affected by courses in ethics, religion or theology. In their study, the authors survey students at two Southern United States universities. The results indicate that religiosity is a statistically significant predictor of responses in a number of ethical scenarios. The paper also looks at how age and gender influence ethical behaviour and perceptions. The authors conclude that religiosity is significantly correlated with ethical perceptions, but that completing religion or ethics courses explained little of the variation in ethical attitudes. |
