Description
Summary:This paper examines three determinants of religious involvement among Protestants and Catholics: socialization, accommodation, and cognition factors.

Cognition factors were more important for Protestants, while socialization factors were more important for Catholics. The factors successfully "predicted" churched and unchurched persons in nearly 90 percent of the cases.
