The Mormon Church, considered to be characteristic of Weber's Protestant Ethic type, has been employed in a “quasi” case analysis to investigate the influence of religion on educational and occupational goals. In the initial analysis of data from 2,179 adolescents, no support was found; however, through the process of elaboration, the evidence indicated that sex roles and family size combine with religious denomination and involvement to influence goals. Multivariate analyses suggested that the Mormons' beliefs relative to women's roles increased the relationship between gender and goals, while their belief in large families decreased the effect of family size on goals. Both religious involvement and denomination influence goals, but the relationships are complex as they combine with other factors. By focusing on theoretically important beliefs within a single denomination, the importance of these religious factors have been demonstrated
