“…This might in part be due to Catholic countries being stricter on ethical behaviour than in more permissive Protestant countries. Although our findings confirm previous research (Cohen and Rozin, 2001;Cohen, et al 2006;Vasquez et al 2001;Shweder, Mahapatra, and Miller, 1990), the differences were not substantial or consistent across all the categories of unethical activities.…”

This is the accepted version of the paper.This version of the publication may differ from the final published version. Permanent MEASURING UNETHICAL CONSUMER BEHAVIOR ACROSS FOUR COUNTRIES AbstractThe huge amounts spent on store security and crime prevention worldwide, not only costs international businesses, but also amounts to a hidden tax on those law-binding consumers who bear higher prices. Most previous research has focused on shoplifting and ignored many other ways in which consumers cheat businesses. Using a hybrid of both qualitative research and survey approaches in four countries, an index of 37 activities was developed to examine consumers' unethical activities across UK, US, France and Austria.The findings indicate that around three quarters of consumers in all four countries can be classified as heavy offenders for these minor cheats. The paper argues that government agencies, marketers, and retailers should adopt more pro-active preventative approaches, rather than reactive loss limitation measures to combat unethical behaviour.

“…Individuals indicated how religious and spiritual they are, to what extent they practice the requirements and believe in the teachings of their religion/faith, and how important their religion/faith is to their identity and for others to understand them (Cohen, Malka, Rozin, & Cherfas, 2006;Siev & Cohen, 2007). Internal consistency was high (a 5 .93), so responses were averaged to yield a composite religiosity score.…”

Obsessive‐compulsive disorder with predominantly scrupulous symptoms: clinical and religious characteristics

2011

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Scrupulous individuals have unique treatment-seeking preferences. Moreover, most scrupulous individuals perceive their symptoms as interfering with their religious experience. Focusing on the religious costs and benefits of scrupulous rituals might have clinical utility. Finally, scrupulous individuals with a more negative concept of God experienced more severe symptoms. Future research is necessary to evaluate whether addressing such concepts can improve treatment outcome.

“…Previous research has found that both Jews and Protestants make forgiveness decisions based on relevant theology from their religious affiliations, with Protestants more likely to forgive any offense, and Jews likely to believe that forgiveness can only be granted by the victim, repentance is required to achieve forgiveness, and that some offenses may be too extreme to be forgiven (Cohen, Malka, Rozin, & Cherfas, 2006). Additionally, Evangelical Baptists believe in the need for God's forgiveness and in divine mandates to forgive others (Exline, 2008).…”

The effects of religion on consumer behavior: A conceptual framework and research agenda

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This article provides a conceptual framework for studying the effects of religion on consumer behavior, with the goal of stimulating future research at the intersection of these two topics. Here, we delineate religion as a multidimensional construct and propose that religion affects consumer psychology and behavior through four dimensions-beliefs, rituals, values, and community. For each dimension of religion, we offer definitions and measures, integrate previous findings from research in the psychology, consumer behavior, marketing, and religion literatures, and propose testable future research directions. With this conceptual framework and research agenda, we challenge consumer researchers to ask deeper questions about why religious affiliation and level of religiosity may be driving previously established differences in consumer behavior and to uncover the psychological mechanisms underlying the effects. This framework complements and extends previous literature and provides a new, more delineated framework for considering research on the effects of religion on consumer behavior.
