  • Religiosity and prevalence of suicide, psychiatric disorders and psychotic symptoms in the French general population
    European Archives of Psychiatry and Clinical Neuroscience, 2021
    Co-Authors: Maria Alice Brito, Ali Amad, Benjamin Rolland, Pierre A. Geoffroy, Hugo Peyre, Jean-luc Roelandt, Imane Benradia, Pierre Thomas, Guillaume Vaiva, Franck Schürhoff
    Abstract:

    We aimed to examine the association between Religious beliefs and Observance and the prevalence of psychiatric disorders, psychotic symptoms and history of suicide attempts in the French general population. The cross-sectional survey interviewed 38,694 subjects between 1999 and 2003, using the MINI. Current Religious beliefs and Observance were identified by means of two questions: “ are you a believer? ” and “ are you Religiously observant? ”. We studied the association between religiosity and psychiatric outcomes using a multivariable logistic regression model adjusted for sociodemographic characteristics, including migrant status. Religious beliefs were positively associated with psychotic symptoms and disorders [OR = 1.37, 95% CI (1.30–1.45) and OR = 1.38, 95% CI (1.20–1.58)], unipolar depressive disorder [OR = 1.15, 95% CI (1.06–1.23)] and generalized anxiety disorder [OR = 1.13, 95% CI (1.06–1.21)], but negatively associated with bipolar disorder [OR = 0.83, 95% CI (0.69–0.98)], alcohol use disorders [OR = 0.69, 95% CI (0.62–0.77)], substance use disorders [OR = 0.60, 95% CI (0.52–0.69)] and suicide attempts [OR = 0.90, 95% CI (0.82–0.99)]. Religious Observance was positively associated with psychotic symptoms and disorders [OR = 1.38, 95% CI (1.20–1.58) and OR = 1.25, 95% CI (1.07–1.45)], but negatively associated with social anxiety disorder [OR = 0.87, 95% CI (0.76–0.99)], alcohol use disorders [OR = 0.60, 95% CI (0.51–0.70)], substance use disorders [OR = 0.48, 95% CI (0.38–0.60)] and suicide attempts [OR = 0.80, 95% CI (0.70–0.90)]. Among believers, Religious Observance was not associated with psychotic outcomes. Religiosity appears to be a complex and bidirectional determinant of psychiatric symptoms and disorders. In this respect, religiosity should be more thoroughly assessed in epidemiological psychiatric studies, as well as in clinical practice.

  • The Religious Observance of Ramadan and prosocial behavior
    Economic Inquiry, 2017
    Co-Authors: Ernan Haruvy, Christos A. Ioannou, Farnoush Golshirazi
    Abstract:

    We investigate experimentally the impact on prosocial behavior of the Religious Observance of Ramadan. Our sample consists of male factory workers in a manufacturing facility in a Muslim country. In our between-subjects' design, each worker is asked to allocate an amount of money between himself and a stranger. Specifically, we examine behavior of observants and nonobservants before and after the daily break of the Ramadan fast. We also examine behavior outside of Ramadan, where we treat alimentary abstention as akin to a long fasting period. We hypothesize and confirm that outside Ramadan, decision makers who abstain from any alimentary intake transfer less money to recipients relative to decision makers who do not abstain. Strikingly, this effect is reversed during the month of Ramadan. Specifically, observant workers who are in the midst of their Ramadan fast are far more generous to recipients than workers who have had their evening meal. Interestingly, observant and nonobservant workers after the daily break of the Ramadan fast and workers outside Ramadan that consumed aliments make statistically similar transfers. Our findings suggest that it is the interaction between alimentary abstention and Religious Observance that amplifies prosocial behavior during Ramadan, where fasting is part of the ritual.

  • Food Abstention, Religious Observance & Prosocial Behavior: Evidence from Ramadan
    2015
    Co-Authors: Ernan Haruvy, Christos A. Ioannou, Farnoush Golshirazi
    Abstract:

    Does food intake affect prosocial behavior? Extant knowledge suggests that food intake increases prosocial behavior. But this may not be universally true, especially when Religious fasting holidays are concerned. We investigate experimentally the impact of Religious fasting in the Islamic holy month of Ramadan on prosocial behavior. Our sample consists of male factory workers in a manufacturing facility in Iran. Each worker is asked to allocate an amount of money between himself and a stranger. Strikingly, the effect of food intake is reversed during the holy month of Ramadan. Workers who are in the midst of their Ramadan fast are far more generous to recipients than workers who have had their evening meal, and more generous than fasting and non-fasting workers outside Ramadan. Interestingly, workers who have had their evening meal during Ramadan are statistically indistinguishable from non-fasting workers outside of Ramadan. Our findings suggest that it is the interaction of food abstention with the ritual of fasting and Religious Observance that amplifies prosocial behavior.
