在不同文化、宗教和政治背景下进行的四项研究中，我们调查了宗教与公众对自杀式袭击的支持之间的关系。在两项针对巴勒斯坦人的调查和一项针对以色列定居者的认知启动实验中，对上帝的祈祷（一项宗教虔诚的指标）与支持自杀式袭击无关。相反，参加被认为能增强联盟承诺的宗教仪式，积极地预示着对自杀式袭击的支持。在对六个国家的六种宗教的调查中，定期参加宗教仪式积极地预示着自愿殉道和群体外敌意的结合，但定期祈祷却没有。本文讨论了理解宗教在自杀式袭击中的作用的含义。
In four studies carried out across different cultural, religious, and political contexts, we investigated the association between religion and popular support for suicide attacks. In two surveys of Palestinians and one cognitive priming experiment with Israeli settlers, prayer to God, an index of religious devotion, was unrelated to support for suicide attacks. Instead, attendance at religious services, thought to enhance coalitional commitment, positively predicted support for suicide attacks. In a survey of six religions in six nations, regular attendance at religious services positively predicted a combination of willing martyrdom and out-group hostility, but regular prayer did not. Implications for understanding the role of religion in suicide attacks are discussed.
