Age Differences and Dimensions of Religious Behavior

Johnson, Arthur L.; And Others

Journal of Social Issues, 30, 3, 43-68, Sum 74

This research explores the magnitude, sources, and consequences of differences among age strata in various dimensions of religious orientation and practice. Analysis of a national sample of 4444 Lutheran church members, ages 16-65, revealed patterns of age strata differences that supported a "selective gap" theory rather than a "great gap" interpretation of contrasts among age strata.
