    Description

    After searching the advances of religion and behavior there seems to be insufficient research that is inclusive of major worldwide religions when addressing discrepancies between belief and behavior. The main objective of this project is to investigate universal religious practices and how these underlie major world religions. Specifically, it seeks to study the relationship between individual’s identified religious beliefs including, strength of faith (i.e., high vs. low), religious motivation (i.e., intrinsic vs. extrinsic), and their perceived related behavior within ritualistic practices (i.e., high ritualistic involvement vs. low ritualistic involvement) and prosocial behavior (i.e., high altruism vs. low altruism).
