Abstract

Religious priming increases prosociality, but its differential effects among various populations has gone mostly unexplored. An experimental study of undergraduates revealed that the religiously affiliated were more likely to donate to international (as opposed to American) causes when primed, while the unaffiliated were more likely to donate to American causes.
