| Résumé: | Religious differences in educational attainment and persistence in school are investigated in an analysis of data from a 1957 national survey. Although no consistent Protestant-Catholic educational differences are found in gross comparisons, some Protestant advantage does appear after the introduction of controls. Controlling for ethnicity, region of birth, age, generation, father's occupation, and size of community of orientation, Protestants are consistently found to be somewhat more likely to achieve a college degree and are substantially more likely to persist in college once enrolled. These differences are largest among men with higher status origins. |
