“…This is not to suggest that religious organizations play an unimportant role in emphasizing healthy behaviors and support for policies that promote health and well-being among the poor. Indeed, African American congregations are more likely than White congregations to host health workshops within their religious congregations (Brown 2008). Rather, because of the disproportionate poverty that persists within Black communities, it is likely that religious messages that encourage congregants to improve the well-being of others overlap existing social policy beliefs among African Americans in and outside of religious settings.…”

Using Pew Research Center's Voter Attitudes Survey from 2012, we assess the impact race has on the relationship between religious faith and worship attendance with support for the Affordable Care Act (ACA). We find that White Evangelicals, independent of partisan affiliation and social-demographic characteristics, are more likely than White Non-Evangelicals to reject the ACA. In addition, among Whites, support for the ACA weakens with increasing religious attendance, suggesting that responses to this law are shaped by experiences within religious settings. However, we find little evidence for religious faith or worship attendance associating with Black and Hispanic health-care policy attitudes.

This paper revisits the longstanding ideological debate over black nationalism versus inter-racial integration. Survey research in this area concentrates on various concerns related to black nationalism. Consequently, scholars know very little about the relative effects of factors influencing the broader variation in beliefs about Black Power. The present study addresses this gap in the literature in several ways, most notably by testing predictions deriving from the Investment in Blackness Hypothesis. This new assimilation-based theory of adult African American identity posits that cultural commitments and assimilation trajectories drive contrasting levels of support for black nationalism and inter-racial integration. Findings from the 1997 Survey of Chicago African Americans are largely consistent with the investment thesis. The implications of the results are discussed, as well as the study's limitations and suggestions for future research.

This study presents psychometric results for the initial validation of the Sanctification of Social Justice Scale (SSJS). We conceptualized the sanctification of social justice as how strongly individuals connect working for social justice to an expression of God's will and what it means to be Christian. Across 4 studies including over 1,200 Christian college students, an exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, internal consistency, and convergent validity results all provide psychometric support for the 1-factor 5-item SSJS. This study extends sanctification theory to the previously unexamined domain of working for social justice and provides preliminary validation of a scale for use in research, intervention, and collaboration with Christian individuals and organizations. Limitations and implications for future research and use of the SSJS also are discussed.
