Religiosity As A Moderator Between Income And Happiness, Nkosingiphile Mabaso
Religiosity As A Moderator Between Income And Happiness, Nkosingiphile Mabaso
Sociology Senior Seminar Papers
Does religiosity act as a buffer to all negative life circumstances? To explore this question, I study the relationship between income and happiness and I analyze the effect religiosity has on this relationship. I propose that income will have a bigger impact on the happiness of those who are non- or less religious compared to those who are very religious. The very religious believe that tough times are tests and they believe that God will, in due season, bless them too. This helps them stay happy and hopeful, even if they are not living in the best conditions. I use …

Thank God? The Effect Of Religious Attitudes And Behaviors On Emotions, Jadon Sokoll-Ward
Sociology Senior Seminar Papers
What is the effect of one’s religious attitudes and behaviors on the frequency of different emotions?

I analyze the frequency of these emotions in 892 respondents to the 1996 General Social Survey, a nationally representative dataset obtained via face to face interviews. Regression …

Religious Mobility In The United States: The Effects Of Income And Economic Mobility On Religious Conversion, Ruby Thompson
Sociology Senior Seminar Papers
Why do people switch religions?

I rely on the 2016 General Social Survey (GSS) that was administered to 2,867 randomly selected adults living in households in the United States in 2016. I analyze data from a subset of 1,068 married respondents to …

Eveiluating Secularism And The Treatment Of Muslim Women: A Cross-Cultural Study Of France, The United States And India, Bridget Stack
International Affairs Senior Theses
Secularism, although linked with ideals of democracy and equality, does not always result in the equal, treatment by the government and under the law, of all religious peoples. There are many types of secularism, but the three types examined in this paper are hard secularism, moderate secularism, and soft secularism. Hard secularism discourages religious visibility and attempts to keep religion in the private sphere. Soft secularism values religious visibility and encourages religious visibility, pushing religion to enter the public sphere. Moderate secularism takes a neutral stance, not encouraging religion to enter the public sphere, nor confining religion to the private …
