“…A neo-liberal economist, on the basis of a mathematical model and a data analysis, based on global survey results, recently stated in one of the leading journals of economic science that: (Carvalho, 2013) But our multivariate analysis suggests a totally different perspective. Our analysis uses the World Values Survey data on what Muslim publics actually think on the veil, on polygamy and on female obedience themselves, and how these opinions correlate with other attitudes, from democracy to trust in central state security institutions such as the Armed Forces, the separation of religion and state, the overall advancement of women in society and central personal values, manifesting themselves in the opinions on whether children should be educated to be tolerant or obedient.…”

“…In recent economic theory, Carvalho (2013) maintained that Muslim veiling is a strategy for integration, enabling women to take up outside economic opportunities while preserving their reputation within the community. Our empirical data analysis on the basis of the "World Values Survey" clearly support a pessimistic view of the gender ideology of Islamism, so prevailing nowadays in large sections of the MENA region and many countries of the Muslim world in general.…”

“…A particularly fruitful application of the theory is costly religious practice (e.g., Sosis and Alcorta 2003;Carvalho 2012;Patel 2012;Hall et al 2015;Aksoy and Gambetta 2016). Patel (2012) analyzes veiling, various forms of religious dresses and head covers, as a costly signal.…”

“…Carvalho (2012) models veiling as a commitment device that limits temptation to break religious norms. In Carvalho's (2012) model, too, veiling may serve as a signal, broadly defined, for it conveys a message to the community or ill-intentioned men that the woman has committed herself to her religion. Aksoy and Gambetta (2016) test some predictions of those models of veiling and find empirical support.…”

Revisiting Broken Windows: The Role of Neighborhood and Individual Characteristics in Reaction to Disorder Cues

Using Turkey's 2013 Demographic and Health Survey, I find that among married women, having a single child as opposed to no children is associated with an approximately five-percentagepoint increase in the likelihood of religious veiling. Furthermore, the likelihood of religious veiling increases as the number of a woman's children increases. Robustness checks show that these associations are rather stable across the Muslim world. In addition, I use the sex of a woman's first child as a natural experiment and find that in Turkey, having a son versus a daughter increases the likelihood of religious veiling by 2.2 percentage points. In contrast, having a child and the sex of the first child have no significant effects on unobservable religious behaviors, traditional values, and gender norms. These results are consistent with the hypothesis derived from signaling theory that women use veiling strategically to foster family reputation.

Veil as Stigma: Exploring the Role of Representations in Muslim Women's Management of Threatened Social Identity

This study extends research on the relations between social representations and social identities through an exploration of how Muslim women manage the stigma of veiling. Based on analysis of individual and group interviews among Muslim women in Denmark and the UK, the study highlights the dialectical nature of social identity as constructed through and against others' representations of social groups and the norms of valuing they impose. It shows how, for the women here, the reinforcement of a shared sense of Muslim identity goes together with re-evaluation of aspects of that identity, principally in response to representations of the veil that deny Muslim women agency and cast them as oppressed. It shows how norms of gender and agency are in this process variously resisted and affirmed, resulting in the reframing of gendered religious values. Theoretically, the study argues that an account of the role of representations in the construction of identity challenges the inter-group framework of existing approaches to threatened social identity and sheds light on intersectional dynamics of identity.
