The current study aimed to identify social responsibility as perceived by Palestinians. Social responsibility among Palestinians was evaluated using an index of a 40-item scale developed by the researches, and was administrated to three hundred and eighty-four Palestinians in the West Bank, Palestine using the stratified random method. Findings revealed that Palestinians experienced a high level of social responsibility (M 3.74, SD 0.38). This was evident through several indicators, the most important of which were: the respondents' assertion that community development is the responsibility of every citizen, they care about what others think of their behavior, and that every person has the right to express his/her opinion even if the majority of people have a different opinion. The study indicated that gender, place of residency, educational level, membership of civil society institutions, and age were significant predictors of social responsibility among Palestinians.

The present study addressed the popular beliefs in the Palestinian society. Popular belief practices were evaluated using an index of a 39-item scale developed by the researchers, and were administrated to 1,066 Palestinians in the West Bank, Palestine, during 2022. The sample population was selected via the stratified random selection method. Study findings revealed that almost three quarters of the participants (71.6%) experienced a moderate level of popular belief practices in their daily life. The study indicated that gender, educational level, age and the degree of religiosity were significant predictors of popular belief practices. The consequences of the study findings for practice were highlighted.
