Abstract

This study explores the effect of personal factors (sex and age), psychological factors (psychological type and emotionality), and religious factors (intrinsic and extrinsic religious orientation) on shaping attitudes towards sexuality and substances among young Canadian Baptists and their leaders. Data provided by 181 participants attending a summer youth mission and service programme demonstrated the centrality of intrinsic religiosity in shaping stricter attitudes within both moral domains. While young Baptists and their leaders shared similar positions and attitudes towards sexuality, young Baptists held stricter views than their leaders on substances.
