Religious affiliation and Hispanic health in Utah
Two research hypotheses are addressed in this study. (1) Do health trajectories of Hispanics in Utah differ from what has been documented in states with longstanding large Hispanic populations? (2) Do non-Mormon groups in Utah have less favorable health status than Mormons in Utah? This study employs three health outcome measures: activity limitations caused by emotional problems, activity limitations caused by physical problems, and self-rated h…

Social status inconsistency and migration
Religion and attitudes toward the environment: A comparison of Mormons and the general U.S. population
Religion has been shown to influence attitudes toward an array of social issues. This manuscript focuses specifically on environmental issues, with empirical examination of the distinctiveness of contemporary Mormon environmental perspectives as contrasted with the general U.S. population. A belief in the importance of dominion over the environment is noted, by some, to be reflected in anti-environmental stance characterizing Mormon Culture Regio…
Regional cultures, persistence and change: A case study of the Mormon Culture Region
There are at least two gaps in the literature on culture regions: (1) little research on regions other than the South, and (2) a lack of examination of regional distinctiveness across time. In addition, existing research provides contradictory conclusions regarding the perpetuation of culture regions; some results suggest modernization forces are obliterating regional distinctiveness, while other studies point to the endurance of differences. Mak…

Migration of Hispanic Youth and Poverty Status: A Logit Analysis
In 1988 the Census Bureau reported that 28.2 percent of the 20 million U.S. Hispanics lived in poverty. This research focuses on the relationship between poverty and the migration of Hispanic youth. Individual- and county-level variables are incorporated into a logit analysis. An important finding is that Hispanic youth who are poor have higher ratios of migration than nonpoor Hispanic youth. Also, Hispanic youth residing in counties with higher …

The simultaneous examination of economic and social factors in destination selection: Employing objective and subjective measures
This research examines the role of social and economic factors in the past selection of destinations made by migrants living in Rhode Island. Results indicate that social ties playa more important role in the selection of destinations with low levels of opportunity than they do in the movement to high opportunity areas. An important aspect of the study was the simultaneous investigation of both objective and subjective measures of social and econ…
Length of residence, social ties, and economic opportunities
This study examines length of residence for movers—that subsection of the population which accounts for the high mobility rates in the United States. The propensity for repeated migration is studied in relation to economic opportunities and previous familial and personal contacts. The results indicate no influence of economic opportunities on duration of residence. This finding is consistent with recent research that indicates economic conditions…
Religious Preference and Migration
This study attempts to test the relationship between migration and religious group preference. Previous studies on migration have usually focused on charac? teristics such as age, sex, race and type of residence. Demographic studies on re? ligion have focused on characteristics such as educational attainment, income, fertility and suicide. Some attention has been given to specific migrations of re? ligious groups, such as the Mormons'journey to U…
