DOES RELIGIOSITY AFFECT SUPPORT FOR POLITICAL COMPROMISE?
利用犹太教赎罪日前祈祷期的外生变化，研究发现宗教显著性的增强会使信徒对土地换和平妥协持更强硬立场，机制是祈祷期降低了风险容忍度。
Does religiosity affect adherents' attitude toward political compromise? To address this question and overcome the potential simultaneity of religious activity and political attitudes, we exploit exogenous variation in the start date of the Selichot (“Forgiveness”), a period in which many Jews, including nonadherents, take part in an intense prayer schedule. Using a two‐wave survey, we find that an increase in the salience of religiosity leads to the adoption of more hard‐line positions against a land‐for‐peace compromise. Examining several potential mechanisms for this attitudinal shift, our evidence points to the impact of the intensified prayer period on adherents' tolerance for risk.
