520 |a A longitudinal study of 96 graduates of the Dartmouth College class of 1940 raises the question, "Do men who attend church regularly differ from men who do not?" Although the group was homogeneous in many respects, certain striking differences emerge between the 59 church attenders and the 37 nonattenders. The nonattenders are reliably different in evincing greater creativeness. More nonattenders are in the professions. They are less likely to vote Republican than are the attenders. Significant differences are found in favor of nonattenders in the number of books read per year, and in their scores on the Scholastic Aptitude Test taken in the freshman year and on the Graduate Record Examination taken in the senior year. No significant differences were found between attenders and nonattenders on scales of self-development and value-energy. A measure of religious impulse is proposed. Only 16 per cent are considered to be animated by a religious impulse. Proportionately, just as many men among the nonattenders are religious as among the attenders. This group, whether attenders or nonattenders, have much in common in their personality structure.
