Description
Summary:The campus unrest of recent years has ended and there are signs of return to traditional values. The present paper examines whether there also may be a return to traditional religious loyalties and an abandonment of nonreligiosity and experimentation with new religions. The data are from two panel studies of approximately 2,000 male students at the University of California, Berkeley, conducted between 1970 and 1973. The data afford assessments of trends and intra-cohort shifts in religious identities, commitments, and experiments.
