Work Ethic, Social Ethic, no Ethic: Measuring the Economic Values of Modern Christians
复制并扩展了Arruñada关于新教社会伦理的研究,使用更窄的禁欲派定义,发现加尔文主义职业道德无证据,但新教社会伦理延续至21世纪。
Summary Benito Arruñada finds evidence of a distinct Protestant social ethic in the ISSP's 1998 Religion II Survey ( Economic Journal 2010; 120 : 890–918). We replicate Arruñada's results using his broad definition of Protestantism and our new narrow definition, which includes only those ascetic denominations that Max Weber singled out for possessing a strong capitalist work ethic. We then extend this analysis to the ISSP's 2008 Religion III Survey, the most recent comparable international questionnaire on religious attitudes and religious change. We find no evidence of a Calvinist work ethic, and suggest that Arruñada's Protestant social ethic continues into the 21st century. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
