“…Finally, the renewalist Christian movement, which emphasizes that God intervenes in our lives through the Holy Spirit, has a significant impact on Latino's religious and spiritual beliefs. Unlike the previous findings, Gonzalez (2008) found that while Cuban American college students believe in God, most of them are moving away from the traditional religious practices (i.e., frequently attendance to church) and are developing their spirituality through a myriad of religious explorations and practices. Still, no other studies were found that discussed the changes in religious and spiritual beliefs among Cuban American college students and the relationship between these concepts and sexual behaviors among Latinos.…”

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between religiosity, spirituality, sexual attitudes, and sexual behaviors among Latino and non-Latino college students. The sample included 230 undergraduate college students enrolled at a mid-sized University in the western USA. Sexual behaviors among Latinos were significantly correlated with sexual attitudes and spiritual disclosure in close relationships. However, sexual behaviors for non-Latino respondents were only significantly related to sexual attitudes, not indices of religiousness or spirituality. Sexual educators, health educators, college-level instructors, and counselors can use these results to help Latino and non-Latino students alike understand the relationship between their religious and spiritual beliefs, sexual attitudes, and sexual behaviors.

As Latino males are entering and graduating from higher education at significantly lower rates than their counterparts, this study focused on their educational coping processes. Interviews with five upper-division Latino male undergraduates at a large predominantly White 4-year university revealed a range of coping processes which were self-protective and that helped them persist to graduation. In particular, spirituality was explored as a central cultural coping mechanism, and results indicated that Latinos hold and understand different elements of their spirituality as a means to manage their educational experiences. Implications for gender-and culture-specific educational support for Latino undergraduates are addressed.
