“…Aggregate or time‐invariant measures of higher education assess differences between people, thereby addressing the assumption that higher education explains differences in religiosity across individuals. The analysis below also furthers understanding of the effects of education on religiosity by employing a wide range of measures of religiosity, thus addressing the multidimensionality of religious belief and practice (Yinger ; Holdcroft ). Finally, institutional variation in educational experiences indicate that the type of college or university should be assessed.…”

Does Higher Education Cause Religious Decline?: A Longitudinal Analysis of the Within- and Between-Person Effects of Higher Education on Religiosity

Although there is ample empirical evidence of the associations between higher education and various aspects of religiosity, the causal mechanisms producing these associations remain unclear. I use four waves of longitudinal data, with respondents ranging in age from 13 to 29, to model the within‐ and between‐person effects of higher education on several measures of religiosity. The results show that earning a bachelor's degree is associated with within‐person declines in some but not all measured aspects of religiosity, which partially supports the argument that higher education causes religious decline. The results also suggest that those predisposed to attending religious services self‐select into higher education, that relatively religious youth in general self‐select into nonelite colleges, and that those with low levels of religious belief self‐select into elite universities. These findings further understanding of the associations between social class and religion, particularly the causal effects of higher education.

“…The internalization of the values of religious teachings that are believed to be expressed in social life (Nasution, 1973) is termed religiosity (Lubis, 2010). Glock and Stark as stated by Holdcroft develop individual religiosity into five dimensions, namely the ideological dimension (belief), ritualistic (practice), experimental (experience), intellectual (knowledge), and consequences (application or practice) (Holdcroft, 2006).…”

This paper attempts to examine the role played by Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) in absorbing workforce in North Sumatra. This paper argues that the SME sector succeeded facing the impact of the economic crisis in 1998, 2008, and the European crisis in 2011. Based on the findings of this study, it can be concluded that education, labor force, financing, profit sharing, and religiosity have simultaneously given a positive impact on SMEs in North Sumatra. Even though it is influential, the coefficient of elasticity for profit, financing, education, labor force, and religiosity is inelastic towards the development of SMEs in North Sumatra. The findings imply that Islamic banks are unable to deal with the SMEs market. Thus, it requires serious attention from Islamic banks to play important role in developing SMEs in North Sumatra.

“…For my purposes, two concepts tap into different facets of religion that might shape partisan‐ideological sorting: (1) religiosity, a matrix of attitudes, behavior, and values, and (2) religious or denominational affiliation. Beginning, first, with religiosity, the sociological expression of this concept often combines participation, saliency, and belief acceptance into a latent measure of religious preferences (e.g., Glock and Stark, ; Lenski, ; Cardwell, ; Holdcroft, ). In effect, this concept yields an index that juxtaposes “areligious” (or, perhaps “secular”) preferences with “conservative” or “fundamentalist” religious ones.…”

“…Second, there is an important distinction to be made between religiosity and religious affiliation (Holdcroft, ). It is possible that denominational affiliation resembles other types of social identities, which generate political cohesion through a common or shared group perspective and conformity to associated group norms (Huddy, ; Miller et al., ; Simon and Klandermans, ).…”

“…Religiosity, in particular, is a somewhat thorny concept in that it encompasses a number of broad facets of religious expression. Indeed, as Holdcroft (:89) notes, religiosity is colloquially “synonymous with such terms as religiousness, orthodoxy, faith, belief, piousness, devotion, and holiness.” Further, because the concept transcends a number of academic disciplines, which seem to approach the study of religion from different stylistic vantage points (Cardwell, ), it can be difficult to establish theoretical consensus regarding the empirical expression of this concept…”

Objective This article explores how religion affects the extent to which individuals connect their ideological to partisan identities—a process termed partisan‐ideological sorting. Method To explore this relationship, I analyze data from the American National Election Studies (ANES) Time‐Series surveys and the Youth‐Parent Socialization (YPS) panel study. Results I find that a matrix of belief, belonging, and behavior constrains the convergence between citizens’ political identities, with one important caveat: evangelical affiliation functions as the primary conduit through which religiosity shapes this sorting. Building on these results, I then estimate the direct impact of religion on sorting over time. Conclusion These findings show that religion has produced asymmetric sorting in the mass public among persons with right‐leaning identities. Further, they provide a social explanation for partisan‐ideological sorting that complements extant institutional ones.
