Interviewees were chosen on the basis of scores earned on the tests. Phase two of the study consisted of 30 interviews, 10 students from each of the 3 schools. Phase one involved meeting with freshman English classes at two of the institutions and introductory Sociology classes at the other institution and asking the students to provide certain biographical information as well as mark their answers on four brief tests designed to measure socio-economic status, religious fundamentalism, anxiety, and religious conflict. The study was accomplished in two phases. It was felt that such an inquiry would provide insight into the difficulties encountered by the religiously fundamentalist student as that person moves and functions in higher education. The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences in religious conflict and anxiety among religiously fundamentalist students enrolled in three institutions in East Tennessee.
