Abstract	Baha'i theology takes distinctive positions on wealth distribution and gender equality in society: serious imbalances are seen as causes of social disharmony. Fostering of equitable wealth distribution and gender equality are seen as causal factors bringing about a more just model of society. Baha'i social thought is premised on a future "Baha'i world order," and progress towards that idealized future society continues. This thesis reports results of a social survey that sought to establish empirically, whether in the present, an actual Baha'i population differed in any measurable way from the general population of which they were a part with respect to these social justice issues. Do Baha'is behave in ways that reflect Baha'i ideals in contrast with the dominant non-Baha'i society? The thesis concludes that the Baha'is of Alberta do appear to differ in measurable ways in their economic and charitable behavior and their pattern of gender roles.
