| Zusammenfassung: | Trends in religious intermarriage are examined for denominations in six marital cohorts of white Americans over the twentieth century. Log-linear analyses of national cross-sectional data indicate significant denominational differences in the trends--Conservative Christians appear to have avoided the increasing rates of religious intermarriage experienced by each of the other religious and denominational groupings examined. The effect of college attendance on intermarriage is also examined. The analysis findings are supportive of the interpretation of colleges as "marriage markets" from which individuals select marital partners. No support is found for the interpretation that college is a secularizing institution which erodes values regarding religious endogamy, or for the hypothesis that teenage marriages are more likely to be exogamous. |
