Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: We examine the effects of marital status and children on church attendance. Using the 1975 and 1992 Wisconsin Longitudinal Study, ordered logit models with person-fixed-effects predict attendance from family variables and a variety of background factors. Findings support prior notions that marriage and the presence of children increase individual’s church attendance. However, contrary to the “conventional family” effect (Stolzenberg et al., 1995), the effects of parenthood extend into middle and later age. We also find support for prior notions that divorce and separation have negative effects on church attendance. However, contrary to prior findings, the negative effects are significant only for Catholics.
