“…Extant research suggests that many factors influence sexual behavior over time, including age (for a review, see Zimmer-Gembeck & Helfand, 2008), alcohol use (e.g., Dogan, Stockdale, Widaman, & Conger, 2010; Tapert, Aarons, Sedlar, & Brown, 2001; Wells, Horwood, & Fergusson, 2004), religious service attendance (Rostosky et al, 2004), having a parental figure in the home (for review on parental monitoring and adolescent sexual behavior, see Dittus et al, 2013), and peer networks (for reviews, see Kotchik et al, 2001; Zimmer-Gembeck & Helfand, 2008). These are likely correlated with moral worldviews, suggesting that we must control for their influence to accurately estimate the relationship between worldview and sexual behavior.…”
