Denominational Subcultures of Environmentalism
Theology and Religiosity Effects on Environmentalism
Support for Prayer in School and Creationism
This study considers why school prayer and creationism continue to receive widespread public support. One view is that these proposals are simply alternative expressions of religious political conservatism. A competing interpretation is that, although related, school prayer and creationism are distinct issues deriving from significantly different social bases. Original data from a state-wide survey are analyzed using logistic regression to test h…
Public Opposition to Genetic Engineering1
The extent and sources of public opposition to the use of genetic engineering in agricultural production are examined through data from telephone interviews with 220 farmers and 332 nonfarmers living in eight North Carolina counties. A model suggesting that public opposition to genetic engineering is influenced by demographic characteristics mediated by three intervening variables (awareness of genetic engineering, faith in government and industr…

Mass media sources were relatively unimportant. Six hundred southwestern Iowa farmers were interviewed to determine their sources of conservation information. The top three sources named were (1) farm magazines,…
