Why is it important?
This research expands on previous work by gathering data from a predominantly Muslim population in Turkey, which has a non-Western cultural context. The results suggest that individuals may be influenced by the positive aspects of religiosity, leading to higher levels of prosocial intentions among those with higher levels of religiosity.
Perspectives
In my view, an important finding of the current study is that people's religiosity can be influenced by various aspects (positive-neutral-negative) within the context of prosocial behavior, depending on their current level of religiosity. This has been shown through a participant group that represents a cultural-religious context rarely studied before.
