Sociological analyses of professionals-in-training reveal a characteristic shift in value-orientations over the course of training. The direction of the shift is from an altruistic or religiously-oriented “lay” conception of the professional role toward a “detached”; professionalistic conception which stresses mastery of certain work skills. This study explored the effects of professional socialization on religious value-orientations of 2,347 Protestant seminarians, representing 24 seminaries and 10 major Protestant denominations. The Bridston-Culver survey of Protestant Seminarians (conducted in 1962-63) provided the basic source of data for this analysis. Differences in the value-orientations of first-year and third-year students in each seminary were compared. Similar comparisons were drawn between sons of clergymen vs. all other seminarians in each seminary, and between students in “independent,” university-related seminaries vs. those in denominationally-operated schools. The four variables employed as indicators of professional socialization in this study included the charismatic orientation, the mastery of communications skills orientation, intrinsic and extrinsic religiosity. Although the predicted differences between groups of seminarians being compared were found to exist to some degree in most of the seminaries, the most significant differences in values to emerge from the study were those between denominations
