Attitudes versus Behaviors: Religion and Helping Others
Social researchers must be careful to make sure that the measures they use are valid. That is, do the questions measure what we think they measure? Sometimes we assume that attitudes and behaviors are the same, but often they are not. This learning module will use data from the General Social Survey 2014 and 2021 to explore the differences between attitudes and behaviors.
The ARDA Lesson Plans integrate content from the ARDA and other sources into teachable units. The lessons are designed for courses in a wide range of disciplines, including history, political science, psychology, religious studies, and sociology. This assignment was created for the Association of Religion Data Archives.
