本研究的目的是了解年长的非裔美国人、年长的白人和年长的墨西哥裔美国人与他们崇拜的人形成的社会关系是否存在差异。两项大型调查的数据被汇总起来，以了解在基于教会的社会关系的十一种不同衡量标准中是否存在种族差异。这些措施评估与普通教会成员的社会关系以及与神职人员的社会关系。研究结果显示，年长的非裔美国人往往比年长的白人或年长的墨西哥裔美国人在教会中拥有更发达的社会关系。对于与教会成员的关系以及与神职人员的关系来说都是如此。相比之下，年长的欧洲裔美国人和年长的墨西哥裔美国人之间的差异相对较小。然而，当数据出现差异时，老年白人在支持措施上的得分往往高于老年墨西哥裔美国人。
The purpose of this study is to see if there are differences in the social relationships that older African Americans, older whites, and older Mexican Americans form with the people where they worship. Data from two large surveys are pooled to see if race differences emerge in eleven different measures of church-based social relationships. These measures assess social relationships with rank-and-file church members as well as social relationships with members of the clergy. The findings reveal that older African Americans tend to have more well-developed social relationships in the church than either older whites or older Mexican Americans. This is true with respect to relationships with fellow church members as well as relationships with the clergy. In contrast, relatively few differences emerged between older Americans of European descent and older Mexican Americans. However, when differences emerged in the data, older whites tend to score higher on the support measures than older Mexican Americans.
