Summary: | This study examines factors influencing undergraduate students who are all
Muslims from one of the public universities in Malaysia. Data were obtained from
a survey conducted among the undergraduate students (n=255). Principle
Components Analysis (PCA) revealed four latent factors: the electronic and
printed media, knowledge of circumcision, the Islamic values on sexuality and
their prior knowledge of sexual act. Based on the views of the respondents on the
roles played by curriculum, religion and media in disseminating knowledge on
sex-related matters, recommendations are drawn to assist the relevant parties in
coming up with comprehensive sexuality education for Muslim adolescents.
