Utilizing hypotheses derived from functionalist, conflict, social control, exchange, and differential association theories by Tittle and Welch (1983), a test of the religion/conformity nexus was effected by examining reported unpleasant, aggressive, and abusive activity in the courtship experiences of Mormon and nonMormon college student samples. Results were opposite to those reported by Tittle and Welch, who used a different methodological approach. Data were also obtained on childhood experiences of parental aggression and abuse, and on negative inter‐parental activities, and the connection between these behaviors and subsequent courtship activities examined. Additional antecedent variables were also investigated for possible effects on obtained associations. Unanticipated findings are discussed, along with possible explanations
