| Summary: | This study makes two contributions to knowledge about religious affiliation and marriage. First, endogamy and exogamy are considered as separate categories of events. Second, the effects of religious group characteristics on endogamy and exogamy are evaluated. Using tabulations from the 1981 Canadian Census, analysis shows a strong tendency toward endogamy. Group size has conflicting effects on endogamy: structural properties create a positive association, but group cohesiveness creates a negative association between size and endogamy. Other group properties such as regional distribution, ethnic composition, socioeconomic status, and gender ratio have only modest effects on endogamy or exogamy. |
