Description
Summary:In a survey of Undergraduates (N=325) in April of 1971, with measurements of religiosity and orientations toward the Vietnam War, religious background was significantly related to both Vietnam War attitudes and actions. Religiosity was found to be inversely related to dovish attitudes and actions on each of three indicators of religiosity (subjective importance, frequency of attendance, and belief continuity), as well as a religiosity index based on a combination of the three. Religiosity held up as a determinant of orientations toward the war when other factors were statistically controlled. Finally, when attitudes toward the war were controlled (in addition to other factors), religiosity was inversely related to protest actions against the war.
