摘要:

Based on a framework suggested by Charles Glock that religiosity should include ideological, ritualistic, experiential, intellectual, and consequential dimensions, data from 362 college students were analyzed for scalability. Five Guttman type scales were constructed—one for each dimension. Interrelationships among the five dimensions were tested by computing correlation coefficients. The ideological dimension was unmistakably of pervasive importance. At the other extreme in size of correlations was the consequential dimension, suggesting that this dimension may reflect a qualitatively different measure of religious involvement. The diversity in the degree of relationships examined lends empirical support to the view that religious involvement is characterized by several dimensions—some of which are more closely related than others.

摘要:

Ideologies and social perspectives of the larger society penetrate large-scale organizations as well as affecting community life and politics. Such penetration confronts organizational policy makers with critical decisions. Evidence is presented indicating that attempts by The Methodist Church (at the national level) to initiate policies leading to racial integration of the church have led (in the southern subgroups) to unanticipated consequences counter to this policy. For instance, some churches have decreased or eliminated their race relations giving. Leadership at the local church and conference level has accommodated to the forces resisting such policies. Theextentof resistance to policy is correlated with the percent nonwhite in a district. The study indicates the difficulty of introducing policies with low consensus in a voluntary organization in which the leaders (both national and local) have a low balance of sanctions relative to the membership.

摘要:

In this study the experimenter investigated the racial attitudes of (1) a group of Negro children and teenagers who were participating in a Freedom School where they were being taught Negro history and (2) a militant interracial civil rights group of teenagers. The results indicate that the groups studied have positive attitudes toward Negroes, despite the fact that they perceive “most whites” as having negative attitudes toward Negroes. This finding suggests that a re-evaluation of the literature on the self-attitudes of Negroes is needed, with finer lines of differentiation being drawn between Negroes from different backgrounds and from different groups within the Negro community.
