corrigendum to world meat consumption patterns an overview of the last fifty years 1961 2011 meat science vol 109 2015 106 111
Meat Science, 2016Co-Authors: Pierre Sans, Pierre CombrisAbstract:Driven by economic development and urbanisation, animal-based protein (ABP) consumption has surged worldwide over the last 50 years, rising from 61 g per person per day in 1961 to 80 g per person per day in 2011. This contribution analyses the apparent convergence of dietary models worldwide with respect to the proportion of ABP and especially meat in intake. By using FAO data for 183 countries over the period 1961–2011, the authors show the connection between annual per capita GDP and the level of ABP (R2 = 0.62) and meat consumption (R2 = 0.62). They emphasise the surge in ABP intake in emerging countries (China, Brazil) which has partly replaced plant protein. However, for similar degrees of economic development, the composition of ABPs and the position of meat within this category vary significantly among countries, suggesting that historical, geographical, cultural and Religious Factors may be involved.

unbuckling the bible belt a state level analysis of Religious Factors and google searches for porn
Journal of Sex Research, 2018Co-Authors: Andrew L Whitehead, Samuel L PerryAbstract:While the link between individual Religious characteristics and pornography consumption is well established, relatively little research has considered how the wider Religious context may influence pornography use. Exceptions in the literature to date have relied on relatively broad, subjective measures of Religious commitment, largely ignoring issues of Religious belonging, belief, or practice. This study moves the conversation forward by examining how a variety of state-level Religious Factors predict Google searches for the term porn, net of relevant sociodemog raphic and ideological controls. Our multivariate findings indicate that higher percentages of Evangelical Protestants, theists, and biblical literalists in a state predict higher frequencies of searching for porn, as do higher church attendance rates. Conversely, higher percentages of Religiously unaffiliated persons in a state predict lower frequencies of searching for porn. Higher percentages of total Religious adherents, Catholics, or mainlin...

Unbuckling the Bible Belt: A State-Level Analysis of Religious Factors and Google Searches for Porn.

Conversely, higher percentages of Religiously unaffiliated persons in a state predict lower frequencies of searching for porn. Higher percentages of total Religious adherents, Catholics, or mainline Protestants in a state are unrelated to searching for porn with controls in place. Contrary to recent research, our analyses also show that higher percentages of political conservatives in a state predicted lower frequencies of porn searches. Our findings support theories that more salient, traditional Religious influences in a state may influence residents-whether Religious or not-toward more covert sexual experiences.

religion and support for adoption by same sex couples the relative effects of Religious tradition practices and beliefs
Journal of Family Issues, 2016Co-Authors: Andrew L Whitehead, Samuel L PerryAbstract:This article examines the relative impact of Religious Factors on Americans’ attitudes toward adoption by same-sex couples. Drawing upon national survey data, we fit logistic regression models and compute standardized logistic regression coefficients to estimate the relative net effects of Religious tradition, practices, and beliefs about the Bible on support for same-sex adoption. Findings reveal that Religious Factors are among the strongest predictors of opposition to same-sex adoption, but that Religious tradition has no significant effect on support for same-sex adoption once frequency of Religious practice and beliefs about the Bible are held constant. Americans who more frequently engage in practices such as Religious service attendance and sacred text reading are less supportive of same-sex adoption, and compared to biblical literalists, those who believe the Bible requires interpretation, contains human error, or is a book of history/legends are all more likely to support same-sex adoption.

Religion and Support for Adoption by Same-Sex Couples: The Relative Effects of Religious Tradition, Practices, and Beliefs

Findings suggest that Religious affiliations matter less for predicting same-sex adoption attitudes than how Americans practice and hold their faith.

The impact of socio-demographic and Religious Factors upon sexual behavior among Ugandan university students.
PloS one, 2011Co-Authors: Anette Agardh, Gilbert Tumwine, Per-olof ÖstergrenAbstract:INTRODUCTION: More knowledge is needed about structural Factors in society that affect risky sexual behaviors. Educational institutions such as universities provide an opportune arena for interventions among young people. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between sociodemographic and Religious Factors and their impact on sexual behavior among university students in Uganda. METHODS: In 2005, 980 university students (response rate 80%) were assessed by a self-administered questionnaire. Validated instruments were used to assess socio-demographic and Religious Factors and sexual behavior. Logistic regression analyses were applied. RESULTS: Our findings indicated that 37% of the male and 49% of the female students had not previously had sex. Of those with sexual experience, 46% of the males and 23% of the females had had three or more sexual partners, and 32% of the males and 38% of the females did not consistently use condoms. For those who rated religion as less important in their family, the probability of early sexual activity and having had a high number of lifetime partners increased by a statistically significant amount (OR = 1.7; 95% CI: 1.2-2.4 and OR = 1.6; 95% CI: 1.1-2.3, respectively). However, the role of religion seemed to have no impact on condom use. Being of Protestant faith interacted with gender: among those who had debuted sexually, Protestant female students were more likely to have had three or more lifetime partners; the opposite was true for Protestant male students. CONCLUSION: Religion emerged as an important determinant of sexual behavior among Ugandan university students. Our findings correlate with the increasing number of conservative Religious injunctions against premarital sex directed at young people in many countries with a high burden. of HIV/AIDS. Such influence of religion must be taken into account in order to gain a deeper understanding of the forces that shape sexual behavior in Uganda. (Less)
