Abstract

The first proposition of Reiss's theory of the social context of premarital sexual permissiveness was tested in this study. According to this proposition, a stronger relationship would exist between religiosity and permissiveness in conservative (restrictive tradition) than in liberal (permissive tradition) groups. Bardi ss religion scale and Reiss's permissiveness scales were used to test the proposition. These data, in general, do not support Reiss's proposition, and a more parsimonious explanation of the theory is suggested.
