| Summary: | This article aims to identify the role of religious affiliation in structuring the"general definition of the situation" of ordinary Romanians in the context of theircountry’s integration in the European Union. The study was made as a secondary analysisof survey data collected in 2000-2004 by the Soros Foundation in Romania (www.osf.ro).The results demonstrated that the way religious affiliation and attitudes towards the futureRomania’s integration into the European Union interact forms a clear causal-deterministmodel. Thus, with respect to the structuring of positive attitudes (in connection withRomania’s incorporation into EU), if both sets of variables influenced these attitudes, thereligious values played a noteworthy part only in the negative opinion systemization.This occurred mainly among distinct groups of population, partitioned according to"statistical determinants" such as: gender, age, level of education/instruction,habitation/residence medium |
