AUSTRIAN WHY CHILDREN ARE MORE RELIGIOUS?

Original Epiphenom English: "Why Religious Austrians Have More Children "By Tom Rees on Thursday, November 04, 2010.

On average, the more religious you are, the more children you have. Is widespread, widely seen in the modern world.

The problem is that nobody really knows why this happens.

could be something about religious beliefs. Maybe make you more attractive to potential mates, or may lead you to have more children once you've found your partner. Or maybe

promotes traditional approaches to relationships, rather than modern. The traditional role of women is to stay home and raise their children while the husband has a job (and the independence and the money that goes with it.) Works (at least in theory) because divorce is not allowed, which means that women can not be left to the economic drift.

Women who chose a more modern lifestyle, more independent, they have to juggle several competing needs. They have to invest time in your own office, and need protection against the financial consequences of divorce. In the absence of social structures that give such assurance, they have less time to devote to child rearing.

Could this be what behind the low fertility among the less religious? To find out, Caroline Berghammer, the Vienna Institute of Demography, looked at data from the Survey Austrian Generations and Gender. This included 1,250 men and women aged 40 to 45 years old - that is, near the end of her reproductive career.

For each, the dates of key events in their lives were registered - the times were cohabiting with a partner, when they married, when they had each child, and when they divorced.

From these data, Berghammer was able to define "life path" of each individual. You can see examples in Fig.


Take the first row. Describe the path of life who was single until age 23, then cohabited for a year before marrying. After a year of marriage, came his first child, a couple of years later, his second and last child. This sequence was the most common life trajectory, followed by 12% of respondents.

The second row describes an individual who remained single and childless. The third one guy who went straight into marriage without first cohabiting.

Of course, the path of life of every individual is different. However, certain patterns emerged, and so Berghammer was able to assign each individual one of several paths "typical."

The most important of these were life "modern" (a period of cohabitation before marriage, but with children after marriage) and "traditional" (marriage without prior cohabitation). Berghammer

found that people living in the style of "traditional" were likely to have 3 more children than those following the lifestyle of "modern." Moreover, those traditionalists were more likely to be religious (Catholic all in this analysis.)

But-and this is the crucial part, between those who followed a traditional way of life, there was no relationship between the depth of their religious belief or church attendance, and number of children they had.

Exactly the same was seen in those following a path of modern life. Although it was more common among women religious, those religious women who followed this path had no more children than non-religious.

There was no difference between religious and non religious possibilities remain single and childless. Berghammer

concludes from this that the critical factor determining the fertility is choosing the path of life. A Once this is decided, then religion has no effect on fertility.

So this explains why religious Austrians have more children. It is because they are more likely to play traditional roles in which women value motherhood on independence. ***


Comments

In the immediately preceding article on Explaining Religion 2010, put into relief the contribution of Michael Blume, one of the speakers, University of Heidelberg in Germany, who argues that " supernatural agents like gods and ancestors experienced as observant of tradition flows communal values \u200b\u200band confidence giving, rewarding cooperative adherents and punishing offenders. They advocate for reproductive motivation as well as marriage ", which makes the genetic disposition toward religion and its demographic success and are favored by natural selection ( Blume 2009). Its foundation is made up of more demographic data (including 82 countries) for assistance to religious cults and the number of children, however, we see that the Berghammer Austrian data include additional factors such as the period of cohabitation or possession of children in or outside of marriage and divorce, which have proved important to show that religious people would not necessarily because more children, and most important factor according to Blume, the degree of religiosity.

However, the model itself might even suggest traditional breeding, at least, a co-evolutionary biology / culture where religion and religiosity may play roles in both spectra evolution of such conduct. Although it is clear that explicit religious beliefs can not be genetically determined or associated by both sexual selection, we still in the hands of religious studies in twins strongly suggesting a genetic influence on it. As hyper-social species we are, it is likely that the behavior of group affiliation, including costly signaling, sexual selection involves the propensity to modulate the pro-social behavior (cooperative) assuming an agent that monitors . The fact is that the agent either way, whether or not it is vaguely represented, ie not have a physical presence, is quite adaptive modification of pro-social behavior because of it. We must remember that not-present caretaker is not an idea too elaborate as to be unable to sustain a genetically influenced discrete neurocognitive pattern, in contrast, is a fundamental feature of nature certainly modular (but not in the sense of Fodor) of the agency.

other hand, there are still numerous studies showing an association between high fertility and religiosity, which need re-examined following the example of Berghammer to determine how much the traditional model may have developed in parallel to what kind of religion or religions . This from a historical perspective, and we see no link yet everywhere religion is associated more or less social codes, including marriage. One might think that in very recent times, with the influx of socioeconomic, religion can not play any significant role in reproductive success.

LA DIMENSION ART America

Dali Dimension is a fascinating documentary that explains the relationship between the art world of Salvador Dalí (1904-1989) and the scientific thought of his time. Especially, the weight of nuclear physics in his work, and psychoanalysis that both influenced the surrealists, although in this case it is a pseudoscience.

The documentary features numerous testimonies of scientists, many of my professors at the University of Barcelona in the eighties, who came to organize a scientific conference in Teatre-Museu Dalí in Figueres with and recovering.

Here hang the first part of the documentary. Do not miss this "one new kind of atomic and nuclear mysticism" (a new class of atomic and nuclear mysticism), which appears in the fourth installment and this visionary said in an interview when many of the artists of his time giving back to scientific advances. After all, these statements were contemporaneous with the problem of two cultures in England and prior to the penaamiento sociological critique of science.
