“…For one, our results show that people perceived bribery as commonplace. This insight confirms previous views that in Manguzi (South Africa) side payments such as the one modelled in our bribery game are often considered the standard way to operate (Gitau, 2011). At the same time, we find the first evidence using incentivized norms measures that people consider bribery as inappropriateboth personally and socially.…”

Corruption in the form of bribery continues to be a major societal challenge around the world. The current lab-in-the-field study tested whether dynamic descriptive norms messages on posters can help to reduce bribery. Before, during and after placing posters throughout a medium-sized South African town, incentivized measures of social norms and bribery were assessed in a mobile lab. A total of 311 participants stemming from the general population took part. In line with the pre-registered predictions, the results reveal that people: (1) perceive bribery to be less common; and (b) engage in bribery in a corruption game less frequently when the posters were displayed. The discussion outlines how social norms nudging campaigns can be leveraged to spur collective action against corruption.

Christianity is a prominent religion and a force to be reckoned with in the lives of the people of Africa. Curiously, and unknown to many, Christianity was already present on the continent (in North Africa) in the first century. However, given the devastation it experienced around the turn of the 8th century, one would expect it to have died a natural death. But this was not to be. Christianity made an astonishing reappearance between the 15th and 19th centuries. This chapter adopts a descriptive approach backed with the qualitative use of existing literature to investigate the beginning, development, and contributions of the Christian Church in Africa and shows that it has had a remarkable impact on the religious, social, and even economic life of the people. It makes recommendations concerning how the faith can be solidified to produce a working model for the 21st-century church.
