Abstract

Western Societies This review intends to bring to the fore the results of studies conducted mostly in the Western societies with a view to ascertaining the influence of religiosity on risky sexual behaviors. Sexual behaviors that potentially cause sexually transmitted diseases such as AIDS are considered to be risky in terms of health. Religiosity is an orientation, mode of behavior or a life style which significantly influences the lives of most people in the world. In literature, there are two types of religiosity: intrinsic religiosity, which is defined in terms of the significance of the belief in God; and extrinsic religiosity, which focuses on worship attendance. Studies conducted to measure the influence of religiosity on risky sexual activity (i.e. unprotected sexual intercourse) show that its influence differs by age and the type of religiosity. Religiosity has been found more protective against risky sexual behavior in adolescents and girls compared with young adults and boys, and also the intrinsic religiosity appears to be more influential compared with the extrinsic religiosity. However, some studies have found that religiosity increases risky sexual behavior

Özet

AIDS gibi cinsel yolla bulaşan hastalıklara neden olma ihtimali bulunan cinsel davranış, sağlık bakımından riskli davranış olarak görülmektedir. Öte yandan dindarlık, dünya genelindeki insanların büyük çoğunluğu tarafından önemsenen bir yönelim, davranış ya da yaşam tarzıdır. Literatürde iç-güdümlü ve dış güdümlü olmak üzere iki çeşit dindarlık türünden bahsedilmektedir. İlki Tanrı’nın önemine inanmak şeklinde tanımlanırken, ikincisi ise diğer insanlarla beraber ibadet etme şeklinde tarif edilmektedir. Dindarlığın riskli cinsel davranış üzerindeki etkisini ölçmeyi amaçlayan araştırmalarda, bu etkinin genel olarak yaşa ve dindarlık türüne değişkenlik gösterdiği tespit edilmiştir. Öyle ki dindarlığın bu konuda gençlere göre ergenlerde, erkeklere göre de kızlarda daha koruyucu olduğu, dış-güdümlüye kıyasla ise iç-güdümlü dindarlığın etki düzeyinin daha yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu makalede ağırlıklı olarak Batı’da gerçekleştirilen saha araştırmaları çerçevesinde dindarlığın riskli cinsel davranışa olan etkisi sorgulanmıştır
