| Summary: | Based on an assumed relationship between early socialization and adult behavior, the hypothesis tested in this analysis is that the religious practice of Catholics in both endogamous and exogamous marriages is unaffected by the type of marriage as such, but is, rather, relatively strongly associated with the religiosity of their parents. The findings broadly confirm the hypothesis. When religiosity of the parents is controlled, it appears that proportionately as many Catholics in exogamous marriages score high on the devotional practice index as Catholics in endogamous marriages: Catholics of high parental religiosity scoring high, and Catholics of low parental religiosity scoring low (at similar levels), irrespective of type of marriage. |
