Description
Summary:Perkins has recently suggested that the relationship between religiosity and attitudes toward social justice can be better understood through cross-cultural research. On the basis of findings taken from relatively small samples of respondents living in New Haven, Connecticut, and London, England, Perkins found that religious identification does not invariably lead to attitudes that are nonegalitarian. This paper presents findings from a partial replication of Perkins' study using national representative samples of United States and English respondents. Findings from this study are compared with those of Perkins. These findings also point to the need for cross-cultural research concerning this research problem.
