Abstract
A survey schedule of Townsville and Thuringowa Shire residents allowed attitudes on inter-ethnic and inter-religious marriages to be assessed. A sample of 411 respondents selected on an equal probability bias were interviwed. Attitudes towards mixed marriages were assessed by investigating 2 independent variables namely, ethnicity and religious denomination. Both age and ethnicity were found to have independent effects on attitudes towards mixed marriages. The religious denomination- mixed marriage relationship was significant for the middle socioeconomic status group (p<.05), for those involved in a relationship (p<.05) and for the religious (p<.05).
