Researchers have established that individual religiosity inXuences sexual behavior and that religious support can increase consistency between personal religiosity and behavior.Researchers are less certain, however, of the eVect that religious friendship networks have on sexual behavior. In addition, the eVects of network characteristics such as density and one’s position in a social network have not been established. This paper uses a network subsample of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health) to examine the eVect of friends’ religiosity on the probability of Wrst sex. We Wnd that friends’ religiosity has an inde-pendent inXuence on adolescent sexual behavior that is similar in magnitude to personal religi-osity. We also Wnd evidence that friends’ religiosity has the strongest inXuence on the sexual behavior of adolescents who are embedded in dense social networks, in which teens’ friends are also friends with one another. These results support the hypothesis that group inXuences depend on the degree of embeddedness within the network and highlight the importance of studying religion as a property of groups as well as individuals.
