| Zusammenfassung: | Sociometry is used to identify and study social relationships and group formations within an inclusive sample of Protestant ministers (N = 39) in a medium-size city. Analysis of sociometric tests reveals that ministers form homogenous cliques, based on both theological beliefs and political attitudes, and that certain ministers within cliques are differentiated into "star" status and "isolate" status. It is suggested that the neglected study of social groups and social structure in sociology of religion research may begin to be corrected by the use of sociometry. |
