“…The conclusion is contrary to the empirical findings of Headey, Schupp, Tucci and Wagner (2010) who showed, using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel Survey, that more religious people register more improvements in life satisfaction in the long run. When it comes to the Islamic world, the importance of religion on the perception of the quality of life is significant; and this was analyzed by Sandikci, Peterson, Ekici, and Simkins (2016) in reference to individuals living in Turkey. These authors proved that religion has an important role in individual well-being.…”

This study considers the impact of religion on perceptions of happiness and quality of life, and is especially focused on the adjunct effects of religion on the standard of living in the economically developing countries of Turkey, Ukraine, Senegal, and Morocco. The data have been collected using a survey carried out in 2012, and the empirical analysis was based on non-parametric tests and multinomial logistic regression. The results indicate that there are differences between devout followers of religion and atheists regarding gender, marital status, and perceptions of personal financial realities. Demographically, females, irrespective of whether they are married or single, tend to be more religious, and religious adherents, irrespective of gender, are such largely for the acquisitive aim of achieving improvements in standard of living or contentment with the standard of living which they have. When compared to atheists it was found that the latter was more affluent and thus stressed a more secular approach to life that emphasizes a sense of perennial discontent with social status and even a more acquisitive aim of procuring more money and status. Based on a mixed-effects generalized linear model that considers differences between countries as random effects, it may be concluded that negative perceptions regarding standard of living cause religiosity, but also allows for more satisfaction in daily life. Taking into account the countries that were selected for this study, it can be said that the results are truly cross-cultural in nature. Moreover, most of the conclusions that were reached are, to some extent, relevant to other developing economies of Eastern Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East.

“…Quality of life as a key macromarketing research concern is subject to different marketplace forces such as globalization, religion and spirituality, economic growth, or aging (e.g., Gentry and Mittelstaedt 2014; Peterson and Webb 2006; Sandıkcı et al 2016). Public policy makers and health care organizations have advocated for and implemented preventive health marketing in the hope of delivering better health and higher quality of life to aging Americans (Anderson et al 2012; Bandura 2005; Rahtz and Szykman 2008).…”

“…Therefore, from a cultural capital perspective, personal spirituality is not expected to be associated with adoption of healthy lifestyles or perceived health as one can grow more spiritual regardless of religious attendance. Spirituality may have a direct effect on quality of life based on previous research on spirituality and quality of life (e.g., Peterson and Webb 2006; Sandıkcı et al 2016).…”

“…Quality of life is a key marcromarketing concern. The linkages from religion and spirituality to quality of life have received considerable research attention (e.g., Peterson and Webb 2006; Sandıkcı et al 2016). In this research, religion and spirituality are presented in the dynamic anti-establishment movements of the Counterculture and linked to defiant health-related lifestyles through the cultural capital theorization.…”

The boom generation is aging. Research has found that aging boomers are more vulnerable to mental and physical health problems and that adoption of healthy lifestyles may be a game changer for preventive health marketing to deliver health and quality of life. While Rahtz and Szykman’s (2008) model focuses on educating aging boomers with preventive health knowledge to facilitate lifestyle change, unhealthy lifestyles entrenched in the culture of the Woodstock generation may be more resistant to change. Drawing on the metaphor of cultural capital, we theorize that Counterculture lifestyles in different fields are intricately intertwined symbolic elements organized by an anti-establishment habitus and, as such, should be naturally correlated and capable of predicting one another. Data analysis confirmed that withdrawal from institutional religion as a defiant lifestyle in the spiritual field four or five decades ago is associated with alcohol excess and cigarette smoking among aging boomers in 2016. Rahtz and Szykman’s (2008) model was modified to include withdrawal from institutional religion to better understand its impact on lifestyle change, health, and quality of life. Implications for marketing preventive health to aging boomers were also discussed.
