Question:
It is commonly known that religion plays an important role in attitudes toward both abortion and homosexuality. However, do the various aspects of religiosity play the same role? Run two regressions using ANES data: in one, use the abortion index as the dependent variable; in the other, use the gay rights index as the dependent variable. For both regressions, use the following independent variables: attendance at religious services (the recoded Church variable), frequency of prayer (the recoded pray variable), and belief in the Bible (the recoded Word of God variable). Create a table that presents both the unstandardized and standardized coefficients for the two models. Compare the betas for the two models and provide an interpretation.
