In this study, data were taken from the most recent World Values Survey. More than 67% of the Buddhist sample believed that taking a bribe could never be justified. Opposition to bribe taking was significantly stronger in the two oldest age groups. Those with a tertiary education were significantly more opposed to bribery than were members of the other three education groups. Those who were very happy were significantly more opposed to bribery than those who were not very happy. Those who had no confidence at all in the government were least averse to accepting a bribe, while those who had quite a lot of confidence in government showed the strongest opposition. Gender, marital status, employment status, social class, income level, position on the political spectrum, and sector of employment were not significant variables. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2023.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessBriberyBuddhistCorruptionEthicsGenderReligionBook Chapter14516510.1007/978-3-031-17707-1_82-s2.0-85170158779N/A
