Abstract:

Sociologists have always been interested in analyzing and measuring social change. The statistical analysis of changing religious attitudes brings special challenges because of the changing definition of variables from generation to generation. This presentation analyzes and measures changing attitudes in a Michigan religious group, drawing data from three studies completed by this author over the most recent twenty year period.
