| Summary: | Previous research that explores cross-racial differences in religiosity concentrates only upon distinctions between European-Americans and African-Americans. This article explores differences in religiosity between 4 racial groups: European-Americans, African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans and Asian-Americans. Three dimensions of religiosity: Belief, Belonging and Behaving, are examined. Regression controls are used to discover whether cross-racial differences in religiosity are racial effects or the results of demographic/social differences. Comparisons of weighed means and multivariate regression analysis indicate a tendency of African-Americans to possess higher levels of Belonging and Behaving religiosity than other racial groups. It is plausible African-American culture somehow encourages high religiosity. |
