Detroit Area Study, 1958: The Religious Factor
(Principal Investigator, Lenski, Gerhard)

Summary

The data were collected during the first quarter of 1958 from a probability sample of 656 respondents from the Detroit area. Besides the usual personal and demographic variables, the interview attempted to gather data on economic and political behavior, kinship institutions, the commitment of individuals to socio-religious groups. Specifically, questions tapped such areas as inter-group images, individual patterns, class and ethnic distinctions, family and child-rearing patterns, attitudes toward work, unions, spending and saving, welfare legislation, civil liberties, foreign affairs, minority group rights, legislation on moral issues, religious background, doctrinal orthodoxy, devotionalism, the role of religious leaders in politics, and the effect of religion on politics as well as daily life. There are 656 respondents, 9 cards of data per respondent, and approximately 360 variables. Amp and dash codes are used.
