Abstract
ABSTRACT Using the NELS data set from the 1988-1992 period, this study assessed the effects of student religious commitment among twelfth graders who lived in a non-intact family on their academic achievement. This study first focused upon the effects of religiosity on all the students living in non-intact families in the sample and then specifically addressed the effects of religiosity on Black and Hispanic children living in non-intact families. The results indicate that students with a high level of religiosity did better than less religious students on most measures of academic achievement, even when controlling for SES and gender. These results held for all students living in non-intact families, as well as for Black and Hispanic children living in non-intact families. These results suggest that religiosity may help many children from single-parent families to do well in school
