“…Reliability for this measure is 0.84. Consistent with previous research (Cornwall et al, 1986;De Jong et al, 1976), the affective component was measured with two items reflective of the degree of feeling towards religion. The items include measures asking respondents: (1) the degree (Myers, 2000;Parboteeah et al, 2004), we used items that reflected behaviors supporting religion.…”

“…While research has tended to consider only unidimensional aspects of religion, often through measures such as church attendance , most researchers agree that religion ''cannot be conceived as a single, all-encompassing phenomenon'' (De Jong et al, 1976). Research suggests that religions can manifest themselves through numerous dimensions such as religious belief, religious experiences, religious practices, and religious knowledge (Cornwall et al 1986;De Jong et al, 1976).…”

“…The cognitive component refers to the ÔknowledgeÕ dimension of religion (De Jong et al, 1976) and tends to be one of the most frequently measured dimensions (Cornwall et al, 1986). Often, this dimension is manifested through personal or private religious beliefs that reflect the existence of the divine (Cornwall et al, 1986), such as for example, the belief that God exists or the belief that there is life after death.…”

“…Most people act on their religious values through participation in church activities, praying in private, and even making financial contributions to their church (De Jong et al, 1976). Religious practice is typically seen as an indicator of how much value individuals place on religion.…”

“…For the cognitive component, consistent with De Jong et al (1976) and Kelley and De Graaf (1997), we derived two manifestations. This classification reflects CornwallÕs et al (1986) assertions that the cognitive aspect of religion can involve both a private and public mode.…”

The primary aim of this paper is to conceptualise the influence of shopper religiosity on perceived risk and the moderating role of moral potency when purchasing religiously questionable products from retailers. An extensive review of extant literature was undertaken, drawing together the General Theory of Marketing Ethics and the concept of moral potency, in a retail context. A conceptual model is developed that provide the basis for future inquiry. The model elucidates the complex relationships between the dimensions of religiosity and social and psychological risk and then explains the moderating role of moral potency. The model offers a strong psychological explanation of how a shoppers' religion may increase their perceptions of risk in a purchase situation. The model also argues that risk perceptions may be heightened (or lessened) as a result of the shoppers' personal responsibility, confidence and courage. Retail managers may choose to implement this model in order to better predict shopper adoption behaviour of new religiously questionable products. The model allows for future empirical examinations across multiple shopping contexts and may be employed to estimate levels' demand for new products based on the extent of religiosity, moral potency and risk. The role of religion within retailing and shopping behaviour is emergent. Extant retailing literature has previously overlooked the role of religion as an antecedent to risk and the role of moral potency in moderating that relationship. This is the first paper to highlight these gaps and propose a testable model. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Jewish tradition is focused much more on religious practice than on religious belief, whereas various denominations of Christianity focus about equally on religious practice and on faith. We explored whether this difference in dogma affects how Jews and Protestants judge religiosity. In Study 1, we showed that Jews and Protestants rated practice equally important in being religious, while Protestants rated belief more important than did Jews. In Study 2, Jewish participants' self-rated religiosity was predicted by their extent of practice but not knowledge of Judaism or religious beliefs. In contrast, in Study 3, Protestants' self-rated religiosity was predicted both by their extent of practice and belief, but not knowledge. In all, the results show that Jews and Protestants view the importance of practice in being religious similarly, but that belief is more important for Protestants.
