Description
Summary:As in the first part of this article, extant research dealing with change and stability of college students' religious outlooks is reviewed. Unlike the earlier analysis, which attempted to establish the broad outlines of general student change and stability, the present focus is on the differential impacts of the diverse American colleges as well as on the effects of differential experiences within a single college. There is a suggestion in the research literature that under discoverable conditions the initial religious differences among entering student bodies at different schools are accentuated during the students' years at college. The effects of a student's major field, residence, extracurricular activities, friends, and background are discussed. Some general directions that future research might take are suggested.
