Where Men Appear More Religious Than Women: Turning a Gender Lens on Religion in Israel
Past research, typically focused on Christians in Christian nations, has found that women tend to be more religious than men. This study uses original nationally representative data (N = 5,601) with strategic oversamples of minority groups to examine variation in how religion and gender intersect across ethnoreligious identities in Israel. We demonstrate that Israel diverges from the typical pattern of women appearing more religious than men. In …
Crossing Boundaries: "Some College," Schools, and Educational Assortative Mating
As more Americans delay marriage and meet partners online, schools may be less important for educational assortative mating. At the same time, social ties formed during college may continue to shape partner choice later in adulthood. This study focuses on young adults with "some college, no degree" to see what, if any, marriage-market benefit is gained from exposure to highly educated social networks in college. Using data from the National Longi…
Dating across and hooking 'up: Status and relationship formation at an elite liberal arts university
Demographic research on assortative mating underplays the role of social status in shaping partnering behavior, yet qualitative research suggests social status is critical in shaping partner desirability and structuring opportunities for partners to meet
Religion, Marriage Markets, and Assortative Mating in the United States
As interfaith marriage has become more common, religion is thought to be less important for sorting partners. Nevertheless, prior studies on religious assortative mating use samples of prevailing marriages, which miss how local marriage markets shape both partner selection and marriage timing. Drawing on search theory and data from 8,699 young adults (ages 18-31 years) in the National Longitudinal Study of Youth 1997, the author examined the asso…
It’s Not Business, It’s Personal: Implicit Religion in the Corporate Personhood Debate
Debate surrounding the United States Supreme Court’s 2010 decision in Citizens United v. FEC is ostensibly about the legal rights of corporations. However, I argue that the debate about corporate personhood is infused with religious concerns, rooted in the Protestant Reformation, about the proper identification of agentive subjects and the consequences of misidentification for human personhood. Focusing on the language used by opponents and defen…
Opportunities to Meet: Occupational Education and Marriage Formation in Young Adulthood
Explanations for the positive association between education and marriage in the United States emphasize the economic and cultural attractiveness of having a college degree in the marriage market. However, educational attainment may also shape the opportunities that men and women have to meet other college-educated partners, particularly in contexts with significant educational stratification. We focus on work—and the social ties that it supports—…
When people shed religious identity in Ireland and Austria: Evidence from censuses
BACKGROUND: Disaffiliation from religion is an important factor behind the rapid rise in persons claiming no religious affiliation in many advanced industrial countries. Scholars typically think of disaffiliation as a life course process that is confined to young adults, with little change occurring among older adults, yet few studies have examined this assumption outside the United States and Great Britain. OBJECTIVE: We evaluate whether the you…
Shall the Religious Inherit the Earth? Demography and Politics in the Twenty-First Century
In the sociology of religion, the secularization and religious marketplace paradigms focus on religious switching as the primary means through which religion in the West will either survive or continue to decline. In Shall the Religious Inherit the Earth? Eric Kaufmann argues that this focus is misplaced: While patterns of disaffiliation and conversion were important in the past, demographic forces—both fertility and migration—are now poised to b…
