This study explores the connections between churchgoing and two fields of Christian moral values (sex-related and substance-related) among 23,714 13- to 15-year-old students in England and Wales who self-identified as either Christian or as of no religion. Bivariate crosstabulation identifies clear patterns of association. Multiple regression analyses confirm that the associations persist after controlling for personal factors (sex and age) and for psychological factors (extraversion, neuroticism, and psychoticism). Multiple regression analyses also suggest that additional variance is explained when two aspects of intrinsic religiosity are added to the model (personal prayer and belief in God) and that much of the variance accounted for by churchgoing is mediated through these aspects of intrinsic religiosity. These findings illuminate the connection between the Christian community and communities of moral values.

去教堂和基督教伦理：英格兰和威尔士 13 至 15 岁学生的实证研究

本研究在英格兰和威尔士的 23,714 名 13 至 15 岁学生中探讨了去教堂与基督教道德价值观的两个领域（性相关和物质相关）之间的联系，这些学生自认为是基督徒或无宗教信仰. 双变量交叉表确定了清晰的关联模式。多元回归分析证实，在控制个人因素（性别和年龄）和心理因素（外向性、神经质和精神病性）后，这种关联仍然存在。多元回归分析还表明，当将内在宗教信仰的两个方面（个人祈祷和对上帝的信仰）添加到模型中时，可以解释额外的差异，并且通过教堂宗教信仰的这些方面来调节大部分差异。
