| Summary: | This paper reports on findings from the examination of the relationship between church involvement and ethnocentrism in the Netherlands. Support is obtained for the argument that church members are more nationalistic and more prejudiced against Holland's ethnic minorities than nonmembers. However, the relationship between church involvement and ethnocentrism is curvilinear, rather than linear, indicating that both nonmembers and core church members are less ethnocentric than marginal church members and modal church members. Furthermore, regression analysis reveals that church involvement has no effect on ethnocentrism, independent of conformism, localism and authoritarianism. |
