520 |a This paper examines the correlates of belief in an afterlife. Afterlife is theoretically proposed as representing a symbolic sanction and relevant to the perception of negative consequences accompanying the violation of traditional marital and family behaviors. Data taken from the NORC General Social Survey for 1978 are tested utilizing discriminant function analysis. The discriminant analysis of attitudinal variables is compared to earlier research which found religious affiliation and church attendance to be the main predictors of belief in heaven and the afterlife. This study finds a prohibitive attitude toward premarital sexuality, abortion, and toward divorce laws to be significant predictors. Their meaning in relation to religious affiliation and church attendance is discussed.
