Abstract

In this study, the relationships between religiosity, values, personality and political ideology were investigated across two different cultures: Turkish and American. Participants completed Portrait Values Questionnaire, Big Five Inventory, Religiosity Scale and Political Ideology Scale together with some demographics. Based on the findings, it was concluded that, religiosity influences political ideology indirectly (also directly) via their influence on value structure in both individualist and collectivist cultures, then this value structure inarguably creates a propensity toward endorsing certain political ideologies. The findings were discussed in the light of relevant literature and possible impacts on psychological functioning of individuals. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
