| Summary: | Four alternative classifications of religious denomination, a typology of Religious Careers and Attendance are examined for their effects on two criterion variables, a Gender Attitude Scale constructed through factor analysis and Attitude toward Abortion, for a random sample of 464 adults in a Western Canadian city. Overall, Current Denomination, categorized by specific group, is the strongest predictor of these criterion variables. Multivariate techniques illustrate the relationships are not due to factors such as sex, age, and education; furthermore, denomination, the typology, and attendance tend to be more strongly correlated to gender attitudes than age or education. As much as 22.5 percent of the variance in the criterion variables is accounted for by four factors--denomination, attendance, education, and age. |
