“…Religiosity seems to be the least social-level variable employed by researchers investigating environmental concern (Schultz et al 2000;Yuchtman-Yaar and Alkalay 2007). White (1967) argued that Christianity has established a dualism between humans and nature, which made it possible for human beings to dominate nature and exploit it with a sense of indifference towards natural objects.…”

The aim of this paper is to investigate factors influencing concern for global warming among 40 nations. Due to the hierarchical nature of the data, the study uses multilevel and Bayesian multilevel modeling to cross-culturally test the influence of nations' wealth, CO2 emissions, post-materialistic tendencies, religiosity, political orientation, and locus of control on concern for global warming. The results from 40 nations contradict the affluence hypothesis. The general pattern of the results shows that concern for global warming is a global phenomenon and not unique to the wealthy nations. We also found that concern for global warming is driven by religiosity, political orientation and internal locus of control. The findings of this paper highlight the importance of simultaneously assessing individual-and contextual-level variables in determining concern for global warming across nations.

“…Examining the specific case of attitudes toward homosexuality allows not only to gain a better understanding of acculturation processes among immigrants, but also contributes to the discussion whether cultural values are primarily individual traits or largely dependent on the society an individual lives in (Norris and Inglehart ). Both broader cultural contexts and individual factors — especially religious denomination and religiosity — have been identified as important in shaping public opinions on homosexuality (Yuchtman‐Yaar and Alkalay ; Adamczyk and Pitt ; Sherkat et al. ; Van den Akker, Van der Ploeg, and Scheepers ).…”

With increasing diversity of migrants in Europe, questions around cultural integration are gaining importance. This study focuses on attitudes towards homosexuality amongst first and second generation immigrants from 186 origin countries to examine the role of religion, origin country socialization and acculturation. There is clear evidence for intra‐ and intergenerational acculturation of attitudes with declining importance of origin country context. While individual characteristics of migrants and origin country context can explain a substantial part of religious group differences particularly amongst the first generation, Muslims and to a lesser extent other non‐Christian and Eastern Orthodox migrants hold overall more negative attitudes.

“…Political institutions include governments and the constraints they impose on key economic actors. They govern the rules and enforcement of tax rates, tariffs, investment incentives regulations Laportal [33,34], restrictions on foreign ownership [35], government protection [36], labor relations, minimum wage [37], and environmental regulations [38]. Social institutions, meanwhile, are embodied in differences in work ethic (Weber attitudes toward work [33,39] beliefs concerning the basis of productivity [40], and productive capacity, and are the normative and cognitive bases for social exchange [41].…”
