Investment Returns on an Islamic-Principled Mutual Fund in the United States: Further Evidence for the Cost-of-Discipleship Hypothesis
This research note examines the investment returns of the Amana Income Fund, a mutual fund investing in the United States according to Islamic principles. Its major restriction is the avoidance of the acceptance of interest payments of any kind. Over a six-year period, its annualized return, adjusted for risk, was 4.2 percentage points lower than the average for similar equity income funds, providing further evidence in favor of the cost-ofdiscip…
General and Organizational Religious Elites: The Case of Lutherans in Indiana
Using data on Lutherans in Indiana, the validity of some of Blau's (1977) propositions on heterogeneity is tested, after first refining his concept of the elite into two subtypes — an organizational elite, which is formed out of a group's own formal organization; and a general elite that is part of the wider society. Because of differences in the relative cosmopolitanism of the role sets of these two sets of individuals, members of the general el…
The Opportunity Cost of Discipleship: Ethical Mutual Funds and Their Returns
Iannaccone's (1988) formal model of church and sect predicts that members of sects, defined as groups with moral or ethical standards at variance with the social environment, should suffer costs because of their adherence to their standards. After noting the strong resemblance of this notion to that of Bonhoeffer's concept of costly grace (1963), the empirical validity of the hypothesis is tested by examining the performance of ten mutual funds t…

The Impact of Informed Consent Regulations On Response Rate and Response Bias
This paper reports an analysis of nonparticipation and bias in a survey research project conducted among seniors in 18 high schools under the federal "informed consent" regulations. Three major findings emerge. First, the use of voluntary participation and (among students under 18)parental consent procedures reduced the participation rate sharply from that obtained in a similar survey in 1964. However, the reduced participation did not introduce …

Measuring Religious Dimensions
The Empirical Point of View
Doctrinal Orthodoxy, Salience, and the Consequential Dimension
Using symbolic interactionist theory to derive the basic proposition that an empirical relationship between the creedal and consequential dimensions of religiosity should appear only to the extent to which one's religious identity is salient, we examined a sample of Protestant church members in Indianapolis (N = 604). A relationship appeared only for those dependent variables in which the organized church was directly implicated, and even then on…

Changes in the Social Status of Lutheranism in Ninety Chicago Suburbs, 1950-1960
Changes in the distribution of Lutheran membership in suburban Chicago municipalities at status intervals between 1950 and 1960 are presented. Summarized, the changes are: a mild decline in representation at the very top and very bottom of the scale, sharp increases in representation in the middle and upper middle intervals, and a very sharp decline in representation in the lower middle interval. Three hypotheses-not necessarily mutually exclusiv…
