In this study, data were taken from the most recent World Values Survey. The main demographic variable examined was religion. Overall, nearly 70% believed that accepting a bribe could never be justified. Attitudes toward bribery were ranked on the basis of religion. The Jewish respondents were least opposed to accepting a bribe, while the Muslim respondents were most opposed. Religion was a significant demographic variable. Overall, women were slightly more opposed to accepting a bribe. Christian women were significantly more opposed to taking a bribe than were Christian men. Other male-female comparisons of mean scores by religion were not significant. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2023.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessBriberyCorruptionEconomic philosophyEthicsGenderReligionBook Chapter112910.1007/978-3-031-17707-1_22-s2.0-85170199992N/A
