TY - JOUR PY - 1978// TI - Differential Anomic Responses in a Religious Community JO - Sociology of religion A1 - Fay, Leo F. SP - 62 EP - 76 VL - 39 IS - 1 N2 - A religious community of nuns, in which institutional change has resulted in a situation of structural anomie, is examined with a view to discovering what types of persons in the community experience individual feelings of anomie. The data point to the conclusion that three variables are operating to determine individual anomie: authoritarianism, traditionalism, and a non-rational orientation.
