| description | Abstract This study focuses on filial piety, a fundamental psychological factor in Vietnam and its relationship with religiosity and attitudes toward abortion. Drawing on data from 656 participants, the research employed the Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method and identified significant differences in intrinsic religiosity (IR) based on various forms of cohabitation with parents. Furthermore, the findings revealed a positive association between age and religiosity. Higher levels of IR were linked to more conservative attitudes toward abortion (AAS), whereas greater premarital sexual permissiveness (PSP) was associated with more pro-choice views. Filial piety played a mediating role in the relationship between IR and AAS. These insights offer a deeper understanding of how religiosity and filial piety influence abortion attitudes among individuals in Vietnam. |
