That was a very interesting survey. These are a few of the highlights. · However, this survey finds that a much higher percentage of students have actually modified their behavior when questioned about eight specific activities, such as praying, studying and volunteering. As illustrated in the table below, 32% of students report that they now spend more time praying since 9-11 · Personal responsibility is rated as one of the most important values in our society. Nearly all college students would rate personal responsibility and family as either "extremely" or "very" important values in our society. · A greater degree of importance is placed on patriotism among men (67%), students in the Mountain States (77%), whites (69%), registered Republicans (83%), self-identified conservatives (80%), and individuals who approve of the job Bush is doing (73%). Among people who do not approve of the job Bush is doing in office, just 27% would say that patriotism is an “extremely” or “very” important value in our society. This measure stands at 58% among women. · The importance of religion seems to transcend gender and age, but does vary based on geography and ideology. The importance of religion captures above 50% in all regions of the country except the West (25%) and the Northeast (39%). Two-thirds (67%) of self-identified conservatives say religion is either “extremely” or “very” important, while among self-identified liberals this score drops to 38%. It is therefore not surprising to find that people who approve of the job Bush is doing are more likely to place a higher degree of importance on religion (56%). tarrance.com * * *
