| Summary: | In an analysis of covariance of a national sample of adults with education, family income, and race as the covariates, it is found that the frequency of attending religious services is a significant factor in the variation of anomia, while religious affiliation and the strength of religious identification are not. These results raise questions about the adequacy of the Durkheimian and the mass-society formulations on the role of religion in the reduction of anomia and give rise to an alternative interpretation based on interaction and ritual theories. The present study supports the contention that not all aspects of religiosity are capable of alleviating anomia. |
