Other people's gods are watching too: Effects of cross-religious primes on prosocial behaviour
Original language description
The widely held assumption that religious people are more prosocial people is being gradually challenged as both conceptually and empirically unfounded. Criticism of the literature supporting this view ranges from drawing attention to the weakness or ambiguity of the relationship, to pointing out an excessive reliance on self-reports and hypothetical scenarios of such findings. Behavioural measures, on the other hand, tend to show that self-reported religious prosociality does not reveal itself in real-life behaviour. Conversely, there is a growing body of evidence that suggests that religious situations/contexts/ecologies do have significant prosocial effects (increased cooperation, generosity, reciprocity, trust and altruism; reduced cheating etc.) irrespective of religious belief or individual religiosity, be they expressions of extended prosociality or parochial in-group favouritism.
