“…Gender is known to be related to religiosity (Bjorck & Maslim, ; Hanzaee, Mina, & Alikhan, ), and this study also finds that female consumers are more sensitive to the issue of stunning animals prior to slaughter than are males. Consumer age also appears to have influence over behaviour but not in a uniform manner.…”

The production and distribution of food is a topic of perennial interest. Specific concern arises over the provision of foods that have been prepared in accordance with religious requirements because they place additional demands and constraints upon methods of food production and distribution. This paper explores the attitude of consumers towards the method of production of food that has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of their own and other faiths. Consumer's gender, age, education level, and the degree of respondent religiosity are all found to be influential. Furthermore, the assumption that such foods are acceptable to nonreligious people is flawed.This study advances our understanding of the role of religiosity upon consumer behaviour. It makes a unique investigation of attitudes towards food that has been prepared in accordance with religious requirements and finds that consumer religion is an important demographic but that the degree of religiosity and other attitudes, such as those towards animal husbandry, are also important factors that need to be taken into account during production and retailing.Such polydoxicity has implications for marketing systems concerned with the production and consumption of religiously prepared foodstuff. This research concludes that religious consumers are a highly heterogeneous group. Although interfaith differences may be obvious and expected, intrafaith differences also exist.

“…Moreover, in many studies, convenience sampling resulted in religious, ethnic, and socioeconomic compositions that did not match those of the larger Muslim community (Bjorck & Maslim, 2011;Chaudhury & Miller, 2008;Hasnain, Connell, Menon, & Tranmer, 2011;Khan, 2006;Rippy & Newman, 2006).…”

Like other minority groups in North America, Muslim Americans have been largely ignored in the psychological literature. The overwhelming pressures faced by this group, including surveillance, hate crimes, and institutional discrimination, stimulate an urgent need for psychologists to better understand and ensure the well-being of this population. This article reviews challenges in conducting research with Muslim Americans in order to offer recommendations for culturally sensitive approaches that can enhance the growth of future scholarship. We first contextualize this endeavor by assessing trends in psychological scholarship pertinent to Muslims in North America over the past two decades. A total of 559 relevant publications were identified through a PsycINFO database search. The 10 years post 9/11 saw a more than 900% increase in the annual number of publications, paralleling a national interest in the Muslim American community subsequent to the World Trade Center attacks. Researchers who conducted these studies faced numerous barriers, including unclear definition of the target sample, unavailability of culturally sensitive measures, sampling difficulties, and obstacles to participant recruitment. To navigate these challenges, we provide a framework for effective research design along the continuum of the research process from study conceptualization to dissemination of results. The challenges and recommendations are illustrated with examples from previous studies.

“…Only females were included in this study since some researchers have noted gender differences in Muslim religious practice (Siddiqui, 2008). Additionally, Al-Solaim and Loewenthal (2011) in Saudi Arabia and Bjorck and Maslim (2011) in the USA, also employed exclusively female samples, so limiting our sample to females only allowed us to compare our findings with those from other studies. However, restricting the sample to females limits the generalisability of the findings.…”
