Do men and women differ in spirituality? Just a few posts below, I looked at how spiritual various ethnic groups are. Let's compare men and women now.
Men
Mexicans 3.12
Blacks 3.11
American Indians 3.05
Scots 3.00
Irish 2.98
USA 2.80
English/Welsh 2.67
Germans 2.66
Italians 2.52
Women
Scots 3.63
Blacks 3.33
English/Welsh 3.17
American Indians 3.16
Germans 3.15
USA 3.11
Italians 3.07
Mexicans 2.68
Irish 2.83
First, we can see that women are more spiritual than men, but the differences appear to be smaller than with church attendance (earlier post). Comparing ethnic groups, Mexican men are comparatively spiritual, but Mexican women are not. The pattern is similar but less striking for Irish Americans. The pattern is reversed for Germans and English/Welsh. But we can't make to much of small differences since sample sizes are small.
