A Comparison of Four Catholic Groups on Well-Being and Religiosity
The current study analyzed the relationship between well-being and (1) marital status, and (2) religion among a sample of Catholics. We predicted that married Catholics would have the highest rates of well-being while the divorced would have the lowest rates. Those currently in a cohabitating relationship and who are remarried were predicted to fall in-between the married and divorced samples. We also predicted that the married would be the most …
A Comparison of Three Catholic Marital Groups on Sexual and Gender Issues
The present study analyzed six different issues (abortion when a rape is involved, abortion as a means of birth control, premarital sex, extra-marital relations, homosexual relations, and women as priests). We hypothesized that differences would exist among a sample of Catholics based on their marital status. Specifically, we argued that the married sample would follow Catholic doctrine most closely and would therefore be most opposed to the item…
Divorce and Annulment Among American Catholics
This study represents an exploratory study of annulments within the Catholic Church. The focus is on (1) the characteristics of annulment applicants in comparison to those who have not sought an annulment, and (2) a comparison of these same two groups in terms of the reasons they give for justifying a divorce. A review of the popular literature revealed that very few articles have appeared on Catholic annulments. Within the social scientific area…

Following the lead of Smith and Smith (1970), swinging is defined here as the consensual exchange of marital partners for sexual purposes. Many investigators, using different methodologies and different samples, have reached similar conclusions with respect to many social and demographic characteristics of swingers. For…

Assimilation and Contrast Effects in the 1972 Election
Longitudinal data from the 1972 election study of the Survey Research Center were analyzed to examine for possible displacement effects (assimi-lation and contrast) in estimations of the candidates'positions on 14 issues. Pervasive assimilation of one's preferred candidate occurred, and this appeared to be stronger than the contrast of one's nonpreferred candidate. The latter was deemed unreliable for Nixon voters placing McGovern and marginally …
