520 |a The concept of social distance is applied to interreligious marriage. Vertical and horizontal social distance are conceptualized to show that both are feasible concepts in relation to religion. A scale, based on work by Prince (1956), ranges from complete rejection of other religions (would neither date nor marry) through various conditions making marriage feasible, to assimilation through conversion into another religion to make marriage possible. The scale was used with Catholic, Jewish, and Protestant university students. The results are analyzed in the light of historical and current policies and experiences to demonstrate the validity of the scale. Choice of dating partners reflected the attitudes shown on the social distance scale. When choices outside the student's own religion were distributed according to the social distance scale they tended to be selected by students at the tolerant or low social distance end of the scale, showing some consistency between attitudes and behavior.
