Abstract: | This study utilizes data from the National Survey of American Life to examine the sociodemographic and denominational correlates
of religious involvement and spirituality among older African Americans and Black Caribbeans. Eleven measures of non-organizational
religious participation, subjective religiosity, and spirituality are utilized. The findings indicate significant gender,
income, region, marital status, denominational, and immigration status differences in religiosity and spirituality. Among
older Black Caribbeans, income was a consistent correlate of religious participation and spirituality. The findings are discussed
in relation to prior work in the area of religious involvement among older adults. |
