“…Gribbins & Vandenberg, 2011; Preston & Ritter, 2013). Relevant to the authority foundation, religious believers are admonished to submit to not only civic but also divine authority, and research supports positive correlations between religious commitment and authoritarianism (de Regt, 2012; K. A. Johnson et al, 2016).…”

We present evidence for a complex relationship between religiousness and Haidt’s moral foundations, with data from four experiments, measuring 21 different dimensions of personal religiousness and utilizing six different religious primes. The more conservative dimensions of religiousness, such as intrinsic religious orientation and religious attendance, were positively related to binding moral foundations of loyalty, authority, and purity and sometimes related to the individualizing foundation of care. However, other, less conservative dimensions of religiousness, such as quest and extrinsic religious orientations, were unrelated or negatively related to binding foundations. Benevolent God concept was the only religious measure that was positively related to all five moral foundations. We did not find reliable effects of religious primes on endorsement of moral foundations. Results suggest a consistent but complicated relationship between religiousness and moral foundations at a dispositional level.

“…Moreover, the question whether it can be a moderator of charitable giving can be raised as Bekkers and Wiepking () propose. And other studies have also been applying religiosity as a moderator variable, for example, testing religiosity as a moderator of the relationship between authoritarianism and social dominance orientation (Regt, ) or testing religiosity as a moderator of the relationship between watching R‐rated movies and delinquency (Davignon, ). Nevertheless, testing religiosity as a moderator of the relationship between pro‐social acts and donations practices appears to be under researched (Bekkers and Wiepking, ).…”

The topic of donations is one of high relevance and has been widely covered in contemporary marketing literature. It is a topic of interest to both theoreticians and practitioners alike, particularly due to its implicit links to fundraising activities and research. The reality of what makes an individual donor ultimately part with his money and give it away to a nonprofit organization is a hot contemporary topic. This study looks into the role of religiosity as a predictor of donations practices. Also volunteerism and compassion, two acts of pro-social behaviour are analysed as predictors of donations practices. Using data collected from a survey of 612 charity donors in Portugal, the results show unequivocally that religiosity does influence donations practices, and so being a predictor of donations practices. Moreover, pro-social behaviour is a predictor of donations practices when in the case of volunteerism, but not in the form of compassion.• The findings are particularly useful for nonprofit organizations that want to attract and retain individual charitable donors and may also help to increase donation regularity, to obtain higher amounts, and donations both to religious and to secular organizations. Finally, it can be stated that the understanding of religiosity sheds light on knowledge about donations practices, and that this study also makes an important contribution to academia, as it is the first study conducted in Portugal that assesses the drivers of donations practices.

“…Recent research has also indicated a number of individual difference factors that potentially moderate these relationships. One line of evidence suggests that ideological consistency (i.e., the independence between RWA and SDO) depends on a number of moderating factors including (a) the degree to which society is politically organized along a single left-right dimension (Duckitt, 2001;Duriez et al, 2005), and (b) individual differences in political interest and participation (Mirisola, Sibley, Boca, & Duckitt, 2007), political and religious identity (Dallago, Cima, Roccato, Ricolfi, & Mirisola, 2008;De Regt, 2012), and education (Achterberg & Houtman, 2009). These findings suggest that the motivational goals described in the DPM are closely related to the sociopolitical context.…”

A Dual‐Process Motivational Model of Social and Economic Policy Attitudes

The dual process model (DPM) of ideology and prejudice suggests that right-wing authoritarianism (RWA) and social dominance orientation (SDO) should differentially predict support for social versus economic policies. We test a differential prediction hypothesis in which support for social policies should be predicted by RWA, and support for economic policies should be predicted by SDO. We further test a dual mediation hypothesis suggesting that RWA and SDO differentially mediate the indirect effects of distinct combinations of personality traits and social worldviews on these policy attitudes. The hypothesized model provided a reasonable fit in a large New Zealand sample (N = 6,886). Policy attitudes thus consist of at least two dimensions: social versus economic. Individual differences in these attitudes are differentially predicted by RWA and SDO-in much the same way as generalized intergroup attitudes and prejudice.
