Check out the results<\/a> (or see some detailed data<\/a>) of a nation\u00adal sur\u00advey of 3,680 stu\u00addents by UCLA\u2019s High\u00ader Edu\u00adca\u00adtion Research Insti\u00adtute [which] found that reli\u00adgious com\u00admit\u00adment runs strongest among fine arts, edu\u00adca\u00adtion and human\u00adi\u00adties majors and low\u00adest among biol\u00ado\u00adgy, his\u00adto\u00adry and soci\u00adol\u00ado\u00adgy majors.<\/i><\/p>\n

I found one excerpt fas\u00adci\u00adnat\u00ading: In addi\u00adtion, Astin found that arts and human\u00adi\u00adties majors were twice as like\u00adly to exhib\u00adit signs of \u201cspir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal dis\u00adtress\u201d \u2014 ques\u00adtion\u00ading beliefs, strug\u00adgling to under\u00adstand evil, wrestling with reli\u00adgious upbring\u00ading \u2014 as busi\u00adness or com\u00adput\u00ader sci\u00adence stu\u00addents.<\/i><\/p>\n

Still, Astin said it is pre\u00adma\u00adture to label all sci\u00aden\u00adtists or com\u00adput\u00ader whizzes as spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal\u00adly hol\u00adlow. Most of these aca\u00add\u00ade\u00adm\u00adic dis\u00adci\u00adplines sim\u00adply don\u2019t prompt or pro\u00admote spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal reflec\u00adtion, he said.<\/p>\n

Implic\u00adit in there is the notion that stu\u00addents who don\u2019t exhib\u00adit signs of \u201cspir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal dis\u00adtress\u201d can be sup\u00adposed to be \u201cspir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal\u00adly hol\u00adlow\u201d. Inter\u00adest\u00ading. I won\u00adder how much of that is Astin\u2019s real per\u00adspectve and how much of that is the byprod\u00aduct of the inter\u00adview\u00ader\u2019s line of ques\u00adtion\u00ading.<\/p>\n

Also of note: Stu\u00addents who par\u00adty fre\u00adquent\u00adly are more like\u00adly to stop attend\u00ading reli\u00adgious ser\u00advices, and \u201cspir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal\u00adly com\u00admit\u00adted\u201d stu\u00addents gen\u00ader\u00adal\u00adly earn high\u00ader grades.<\/i><\/p>\n

Stu\u00addents who score high on mea\u00adsures of spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal com\u00admit\u00adment gen\u00ader\u00adal\u00adly are health\u00adi\u00ader, hap\u00adpi\u00ader and more involved in com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adty ser\u00advice.<\/p>\n
