520 |a The main purpose of this research was to determine to what extent religious values are related to a compassionate social outlook. Social compassion was determined by responses to a large variety of questions put to a national sample of about 1400 adult Americans: reactions to the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, attitudes toward equal rights for blacks, attitudes toward the poor, attitudes toward the student protest movement and toward the church's involvement in political and social affairs. The findings suggest that those who place a high value on salvation are conservative, are anxious to maintain the status quo, and are generally more indifferent and unsympathetic with the plight of the black and the poor. They had reacted in a more fearful and calloused way to the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, were more unsmypathetic with the student protest movement, and were more opposed to the church's involvement in everyday affairs. The data also suggested that they suffered more from feelings of anomie. Value for forgiving (the second most distinctively Christian value) was also found to be negatively related to social compassion but to a generally lesser extent than was the case for salvation. Contrary to Allport and Ross' findings, frequency of church attendance was not curvilinearly related to social compassion. If anything, frequent churchgoers were found to be somewhat less compassionate than less frequent churchgoers.
