| Résumé: | The purpose of this study is to see whether there are age differences in the relationship between church-based social ties and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) antibodies among Hispanics (250) and non-Hispanic Whites (N = 602). The data indicate that emotional support that is received from fellow church members is associated with lower EBV values among Hispanics of all ages, but not among Whites of all ages. In contrast, emotional support that is received outside religious institutions failed to provide similar protective effects for Hispanics. No age differences emerged from the data. |
