| Zusammenfassung: | Based on a rewiew of mainly pre-1970 studies about the association between religion and prejudice among whites, Gorsuch and Aleshire conclude that church members display higher levels of prejudice than the unchurched; highly active members are less prejudiced than less active members; and members of fundamentalist groups exhibit greater prejudice than nonfundamentalists. Yet, these conclusions may not apply to the associations between religion and racial prejudice because (1) the majority of the studies which support these conclusions focus on prejudice in general or prejudice against other groups; (2) studies which do focus on prejudice toward blacks are almost never based on representative national samples; and (3) results of these studies may be contaminated by the failure to control for key variables, especially social status. Analysis of data from three recent national representative NORC samples (1972, 1976, 1977) raises questions about each conclusion. |
