Using nationwide survey data from fifteen denominations, we tested three theories of church participation and commitment: deprivation theory, child rearing theory, and the theory of doctrinal beliefs. As in past research, deprivation theory was not supported; where patterns did appear in the data, t...

520 |a Using nationwide survey data from fifteen denominations, we tested three theories of church participation and commitment: deprivation theory, child rearing theory, and the theory of doctrinal beliefs. As in past research, deprivation theory was not supported; where patterns did appear in the data, they were in the direction opposite to that predicted by deprivation theory. Child rearing theory also was not supported. Doctrinal beliefs strongly predicted church participation and commitment, even when other factors were controlled. Socioeconomic, personal, and familial factors strongly predicted financial contributions to the church, but not church attendance or organizational participation. Differences in determinants between conservative and liberal denominations were small. Some directions for future research are proposed.
