A Reexamination of the Antecedents of Apostasy

Fifty-one apostates and 51 controls (matched on dimensions of background religion, sex, age, and year in university) responded to a 10 page questionnaire. Numerous differences between the two groups emerged from t-test comparisons. In addition, a factor analysis of a variety of items related to theo...

520 |a Fifty-one apostates and 51 controls (matched on dimensions of background religion, sex, age, and year in university) responded to a 10 page questionnaire. Numerous differences between the two groups emerged from t-test comparisons. In addition, a factor analysis of a variety of items related to theoretical expectations was conducted and factor scores subsequently were subjected to multiple regression analysis. Results indicated that two factors distinguished significantly between apostates and controls: response to parental religious teachings, and emphasis placed on religion in childhood. These two factors explained 42.3 percent of the variance. Other factors--including present relationship with parents, personal adjustment and happiness, academic orientation, and childhood relationship with parents--did not add significantly to the explained variance in predicting current religious status. On the basis of this research, a reexamination of Caplovitz and Sherrow's (1977) theory is advised and tentative suggestions are made for theoretical reorientation.
