My research topic has changed a little big. Instead of focusing on honors students I want to study the influence of religion in education and overall well being. I am still going to be working from the data set I already have I am just looking at the subject a little differently.
The article I read relates to that issue as well. The article focuses on education, religiosity and moral attitudes tie in together not only in one society but in many different societies. It also studies external and internal situations such as parental/ environmental situations and individual characteristics. Respondent s raised by religious parents
(Catholic, Protestant, or from other religions) appear to be more conservative regarding moral issues than those raised by parents who were not affiliated with any church. A frequent relationship of people who are more well educated is the are more in favor of liberal views on moral issues as well. Education was found to be an important socializing agent that influenced personal, moral, and cognitive development.
I wonder what kind of stress a devoutly religious student would endure when attending an overall liberal school - that conflict seems like it would be a lot for a student to handle, especially a freshman new to the college experience. -Kendal
