Summary/Abstract: Among 223 college students from the University of Zagreb, 105 male and 118 female students, aged 19-34 years, examined the association among religiosity (general, intrinsic, extrinsic-social and extrinsic-personal religiosity), sexuality (three sexual styles/scripts; "role enactment", "sexual trance" and "partner engagement"; age for onset of sexual intercourse and number of sexual partners) and prosociality (emotional empathy and altruism). Intrinsic and extrinsic-social religiosity were positively correlated with preferences for partner engagement, and negatively correlated with number of sexual partners. General, intrinsic, extrinsic-social and extrinsic-personal religiosity were positively correlated with emotional empathy; general and extrinsic-personal religiosity were also positively correlated with altruism. Partner engagement and sexual trance were positively correlated with emotional empathy, and number of sexual partners was negatively correlated with emotional empathy.
