A Religious Factor in Secular Achievement Among Blacks: The Case of Catholicism

Hunt, Larry L.; Hunt, Janet G.

Social Forces, 53, 4, 595-605, Jun 75

Research on a sample of urban black adolescents sought to discover Protestant-Catholic differences in attitudes toward achievement and black identity; the results are interpreted as suggesting that a distinctive secular orientation exists among black Catholics, combining higher educational and occupational aspirations and an attenuation of black identity.
