“…Individuals with mature faith and internalized religious teachings tend to be better able to accept the conditions they face (Ashby & Huffman, 1999), because they are less likely to be stimulated by impulses or incentives and fear of their surroundings (Allport, 1950). They are more capable of resisting pressure from the surrounding as well (Laher, 2007). Hence, even though they live in the collective society, participants in this study are not tempted to set a high standard that cannot be achieved to satisfy their surroundings.…”

Several studies have found that religion linked to perfectionism can harm mental health. Conversely, most research found that religion resulted in positive effects on mental health. Therefore, the current study was conducted to better understand this phenomenon by examining religious orientation's influence on maladaptive perfectionism among 82 college students with high levels of perfectionism as indicated by the designated instrument. The data was subject to parametric statistical analysis using Pearson Product-Moment correlation and multiple linear regression. The results showed that intrinsic religious orientation negatively influences maladaptive perfectionism, while extrinsic religious orientation positively influences maladaptive perfectionism. The study highlights the importance for college students to develop an intrinsic religious orientation to achieve an adaptive perfectionism.

“…As religious orientation examines the motives of individuals to pursue their religious beliefs; their religious approach can be classified as intrinsic or extrinsic (Allport and Ross, 1967;Noble et al, 2007). Where intrinsic individuals are those who consider religion as their life's purpose, they have strong commitment towards their religion's doctrines and beliefs and their behaviour centres around religious principles and values (Laher, 2007;Noble et al, 2007;Mansori et al, 2015); for extrinsic individuals' religion is not their central reason and does not govern their motives (Allport and Ross, 1967;Laher, 2007;Meagher, 2018). Furthermore, Ajzen's theory predicts human behaviour.…”

Purpose Due to a staggering growth rate in the recent past, halal products have attained a significant attention of marketers across countries. However, marketing practitioners seek to have detailed understanding of what drives consumers of different demographics towards this product category so as to better market and position themselves in the competitive landscape. Correspondingly, this study aims to provide insights into the Muslim women consumers’ halal cosmetics purchase behaviour and examines the variables (and their interplay) when purchasing such products. Design/methodology/approach The data for the study were collected through a self-administered questionnaire from 371 Muslim respondents from India. The data were analysed through structural equation modelling using AMOS 22.0 SEM software. Findings The findings of this study reveal that religious knowledge, religious commitment and halal certification(s) affect consumers’ actual purchase behaviour of halal cosmetics, which subsequently drives their repurchase intention. The findings further reveal a non-significant effect of religious orientation with both the actual purchase behaviour and repurchase intention towards halal cosmetics. Additionally, actual purchase behaviour of halal cosmetics is found to positively affect customers’ repurchase intentions. Originality/value Despite the recent growth of overall beauty industry, this particular segment of halal cosmetics has a huge potential given the phenomenal preference that Muslim consumers have shown in such niche. Therefore, this paper contributes towards examining the key factors influencing consumers purchase behaviour towards halal cosmetics in India that can be capitalized on.

“…This research revealed that religious orientation had a positive impact on the loyalty of viewers. Specifically, both intrinsic and extrinsic religious measures are seen as important explanatory instruments of people's behavior (Donahue, 1985;Laher, 2007). Religion rules and norms could also form the customers' tastes and preferences (Assadi, 2003).…”

Consumer behavior has changed dramatically in recent years. The current research follows and expands theories of planned behavior and social identity to explain the relationships between social media advertising, motivation, price reduction, and consumer purchasing behavior. It also assesses the moderating role of religious orientation in this interconnection. A set of online questionnaires was distributed to 328 insurance customers who had their own experiences with the services of insurance companies. Data were analyzed using modeling of structural equations. Significant and positive associations have been identified between social media advertising, motivation, price reduction, religious orientation, and consumer purchasing behavior. Religious orientation moderates the relationship between social media advertising and consumer purchasing behavior. Meanwhile, religious orientation does not moderate the relationship between motivation, price reduction, and consumer purchasing behavior. Executives and marketers of insurance companies should consider these aspects to enhance insurance services offered to their consumers. Also, the research recognizes some limitations which need to be addressed.
