Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the relationship of religiosity and sexual attitude among adolescents. Religiosity is defined as characteristics of being involvement in religious activities, belief, and dedication (Mayer and Trommsdorff, 2012). Through the years. Beck with and Morrow (2005) found that individuals who possess high religiosity and high core spirituality have more conservative sexual attitudes and less sexually permissiveness attitudes than their counterparts, which might lead to fewer sexual experiences.
A total of one hundred fifty adolescents were participants for this study. Specifically, 25 male and 25 female from Born Again. This study used correlational quantitative approach to determine if there is a relationship between the two variables. Results indicated that Iglesia ni Cristo and Born Again are mostly religious in three main religious groups and religiosity and sexual attitude are associated with each other but it depends upon their religious affiliation.
