“…Both of these processes of searching involve youths’ reaching outside of themselves and thinking outside the box, which includes a level of uncertainty that might make religious parents, educators, and leaders somewhat uncomfortable (e.g., the youths could decide to leave the church). Nevertheless, it opens up the possibility for a deeper level of religiosity and spirituality, and greater connection to all of humanity (Brambilla et al, 2013; Lerner et al, 2006).…”

The current study examined the unique and combined roles of spirituality and religious identity formation processes on ethnocultural empathy among Italian youth. Spirituality was conceptualized as a desire for self-transcendence. Ethnocultural empathy entails concern for those of other cultural backgrounds. It was hypothesized that spirituality would predict ethnocultural empathy indirectly by way of religious identity commitment and in-depth exploration. Religious identity commitment is the extent to which people have invested in a particular religious worldview and community, whereas religious identity in-depth exploration is the degree to which they are actively seeking to learn more about their religious belief system. The sample included 301 Italian adolescents. Structural equation modeling revealed that spirituality positively and strongly predicted both mediators (i.e., religious identity commitment and in-depth exploration) and that it had a moderate, positive direct link to ethnocultural empathy. The mediators were in turn significantly related to ethnocultural empathy, with the link being negative for commitment but positive for in-depth exploration. Finally, both of these indirect paths from spirituality to ethnocultural empathy were statistically significant. This suggests that spirituality may improve prosocial relations with those of other cultures by encouraging people to further explore their religious worldviews.

“…For instance, higher religiosity has been associated with increased support for torture as a means of obtaining information from terrorist suspects (Malka & Soto, ). Increased religiosity has also predicted decreased support for immigration of disfavored groups (Brambilla, Manzi, Regalia, & Verkuyten, ), and religiosity covaries along with voting intentions in response to ovulation cycles (Durante, Rae, & Griskevicius, ). As such, there is strong evidence to expect religiosity to be associated with both the endorsement of the binding moral foundations and political outcomes.…”

The current research examined the ability of moral foundations to predict candidate choice in the 2012 U.S. Presidential Election across three studies. Results indicated that endorsement of moral foundations predicted voting outcomes beyond that predicted by important demographic variables that are traditionally included in election forecasts and research. When moral foundations were collapsed into two variables (individualizing and binding foundations), increased endorsement of the individualizing foundations consistently predicted support for Barack Obama, and increased endorsement of the binding foundations consistently predicted support for Mitt Romney. The most reliable unique predictor of candidate choice among the five separate foundations was purity, which strongly motivated support for Mitt Romney. Additionally, increased endorsement of the fairness foundation uniquely predicted support for Barack Obama. The effects observed across the three studies demonstrate a direct relationship between moral foundations endorsements and candidate choice. Implications for those using moral appeals in their political influence strategies are discussed.

“…In terms of interreligious relations, previous studies reported that religious people can be either more or less tolerant toward outgroup members (Allport, 1958; Brambilla, Manzi, Regalia, & Verkuyten, 2013). Brambilla et al (2013) demonstrated that individuals who identify with a religion that endorses prosocial values were negatively related to prejudice; in contrast, religious people who conform to norms saying that they should distrust those who are from different beliefs were found positively related to prejudice. The findings suggest that it is not their religiosity that makes people tend to be prejudiced or tolerant, but it depends how the religion is internalized; it depends on how it is shown or understood.…”

The present study aims to understand the conditions where prejudice can be predicted by ingroup and outgroup meta-prejudice. The data collecting was disseminated toward Muslim and Christian participants (N = 362) living in Maumere, Flores Island, Indonesia. In Flores, Christianity is the largest religion and Islam is the second. Across two samples, the effects of ingroup and outgroup meta-prejudice on prejudice were found to be moderated by ingroup self-evaluation. It shows that at high level (but not low) of positive ingroup self-evaluation, ingroup and outgroup meta-prejudice were found to predict prejudice. The results suggest that it is important to consider how group members evaluate their own group and how group members think what others are thinking, in the study pertaining to intergroup relations.
