Answer to Question 1

Some research suggested that there are three conditions that produce religious effects on fertility: (1 ) the religion promotes norms about fertility-related behaviors, such as the use of birth control; (2 ) the organization is able to enforce conformity to these norms (either through social influence or through sanctions); and (3 ) the religion is a very important part of a person's individual identity. A recent study of 7,600 nationally representative subjects to identify what determines differences in rates of fertility among some religious groups confirms the earlier research. The researchers found that women for whom religion is an important facet in daily life have higher fertility intentions, compared to nonreligious women.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE
