Abstract

The paper presents an overview of studies that link various measures of religious orientation with prosocial and anti-social attitudes and behaviors, including, on one hand, various scales of religiosity, and on the other, prosocial and antisocial attitudes and behaviors (for example, charity and altruism, prejudice and discrimination). The conclusion includes several implications as well as directions for future studies in this area.
