Abstract
T HIS paper examines the relation between an individual's preference for Sectarianism and his social participation. It was hypothesized that, for the Sectarian, religious affiliation denotes a significant part of an integrated life pattern while, for many other Protestants, religious affiliation forms a more segmentalized aspect of their life experiences. If this hypothesis is valid, data should indicate that the Sectarian would center most of his social participation within the church, becoming only a nominal member in secular organizations. For the Sectarian, it would appear probable that his religious and friendship groups would tend to coincide. It would also follow that the Sectarian would derive more satisfaction from his religious affiliation while other Protestants would be placed in a position of ambivalence with competing allegiances in organizations outside their church. These are some of the general areas of investigation in the study reported here.
