The Marital Integration of Religious Independents: A Reevaluation of Its Significance
Moral Messages: The Relative Influence of Denomination on the Religiosity-Alcohol Relationship
This article examines the use and misuse of alcohol across religious denominations. After controlling for standard sociodemographic variables, we find that the impact of religiosity on alcohol use is greatest among those denominations taking a strong stand against its consumption, mainly because religion constitutes a significant reference group for members. We also find that religiosity fails to influence misuse, and discuss the possible reasons…

Religion, Socioeconomic Status, and Sexual Morality: An Application of Reference Group Theory
Reference group theory is used to help resolve an anomaly: the relationships among religiosity, socioeconomic status, and sexual morality. Past research has shown that while SES and religiosity are positively related to each other, SES is related to liberal sexual attitudes and religiosity is related to conservative sexual attitudes. SES and religiosity are therefore working at cross-purposes and represent competing frames of reference for some p…
The Role of Probation Officers in Determining Gender Differences in Sentencing Severity
This study examines the relationship between gender and sentencing severity in the criminal justice system. Analysis focuses (1) on the extent to which gender influences sentencing and (2) on the part played by probation officers' presentence investigations in accounting for these differences. We find males are more likely than females to receive harsh sentences. The gender effect is diminished, but not ellmnished, in multivariate analyses, when …
Effects of Court Officials on Sentence Severity: Do Judges Make a Difference
The present article examines the effects on sentencing of a number of variables measuring court actors and their traits. Sentencing patterns were shown to vary substantially from judge to judge but the differences were found to be related more to the types of cases judges received than to sentencing styles of individual judges. Independent of traditional sociodemographic traits of offenders and legal variables, individual judges do not appear to …
The Correlates of Religiosity Among Black and White Americans
This paper explores the correlates of religiosity among blacks and whites, asking two questions: (1) Is the relationship between SES and religious attendance the same for both races? (2) What factors best predict church attendance among both races? The findings show that (1) SES is positively related to religious participation among whites; (2) the best non-religious predictors of attendance across all denominations and churches studied are SES a…
Pretrial Release and Bail Decisions: The Effects of Legal, Community, and Personal Variables
This study examines the relative effects of a number of legal and extralegal factors on (1) the decision to release on recognizance and (2) the decision on amount of money bail. Social science research on these issues has been sparse compared to that on other phases of the criminal justice process. Findings from a regression analysis show that the first step of the bond disposition process, the recognizance decision, is influenced by several fact…

Official standards versus actual criteria in bond dispositions
Maintenance of the Extended Family in Urban Areas of Argentina, Brazil and Chile
The objectives of the study are : (1) to ascertain the concomitants of nuclear and extended families in industrializing societies, and (2) to determine cross-societal regularities regarding these factors. The analysis was based on data collected in sample surveys of three metro pol itan areas : Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, and Santiago. The variables considered in the investigation are: age, social status, foreign extraction, migration, and soci…
Social Status, Mobility, Illegitimacy and Subsequent Marriage
The purpose of this study was to determine the relative importance of variables surrounding (1) illegitimacy and (2) the time interval between unwed motherhood and subsequent marriage. The data were based on responses obtained from 1,625 women in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The factors found to be related significantly to illegitimacy were age at marriage, educational attainment, father's social status, husband's social status, and mobility. Measures…

Suicide among the Elderly: Isolating Widowhood and Mitigating Alternatives
Although the associati i between widowhood status and suicide has been well documented, the conditions which modify this relationship have not been extensively investigated. The present study of elderly persons uses information obtained from two sources: (1) a representative sample of the aged in Pinellas County, Florida, in 1959; and (2) persons aged 65 and over who committed suicide in that county between 1955 and 1963. The major findings are (…
Factors affecting fertility of natives and migrants in urban Brazil
Modernization is expected to change the patterns of population growth of developing countries. The primary reason explaining the fast rate of population growth of these nations has been established as that of the reductions of mortality! which marks the first stage of demographic transition. The second stage in this process is the reduction in fertility which counterbalances lowered mortality and therefore reduces the rate of population growth. T…

The Female Clergy: A Case of Professional Marginality
The present paper reports an analysis of data on one marginal position, the clergywoman. At least two general factors have interacted to produce changes in the number and characteristics of clergywomen in the United States in the present century: opposition to women as clergy, and conflict between the roles required of clergy and those traditionally required of American women. Evidence is presented that the females small. The characteristics of f…

Symbols in Conflict: Official versus Folk Religion
Every society involves many systems of beliefs, symbols, and practices, some of which differentiate subpopulations and some of which integrate these subgroups into one society. The society, if it is to remain a society, must express its unity of subpopulations through a commonly held symbol system. The integration of a society is, however, never complete; tension and conflict are constant possibilities and actualities between different subpopulat…
