Abstract

This study investigated the perceptions of grades 9 and 10 students (N=124) in a Seventh-day Adventist boarding Academy in the Philippines in relation to the degree of strength they perceived various socio-religious variables (Home, Church Program, Bible class, Mentor & Peers) to have towards their religious behaviors in the categories of Religious Knowledge, Attitudes and Lifestyle. Respondents indicated that home, church programs and Bible classes had a greater influence on religiosity behaviors than mentors and peers, which scored weaker by comparison. Students perceived Bible classes as having a stronger influence on religious knowledge, church programs scored higher for religious attitudes and home had the greatest impact on lifestyle.
