Abstract

A Detroit Area Study sample of some eight hundred respondents was asked to choose the right standard of conduct in described situations involving religion and civil liberties, family privacy, and race relations. Analysis is in terms of three dichotomies-white-Negro, Protestant-Catholic, men-women-and seven causal factors-ethnicity, age, schooling, occupation, income, anomia, and religiosity. The white-Negro difference and schooling stand out as the most powerful variables.
