Accordance and conflict between religious and scientific precautions against COVID-19 in 27 societies

Recent publication


 

In the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, an international team of researchers investigated how systems of meaning in societies complement or counteract each other. A total of 7,844 people from 27 societies on five continents were surveyed to determine how traditions, religion and science affect practices and precautionary measures. Prof. Dr. Stefan Stieger was part of the research team. The study was published in the journal “Religion, Brain and Behavior”.
