Preliminary considerations:
Group attachment and prosocial behavior can be correlated, depending on the existence of positive characteristics attributed to particular, identifiable groups. As familism values grow in-group, one may assume that prosocial attitudes and behavior are reinforced by moderate religious communities, for instance. The existence of a tendency of intra-prosocial behavior has been shown as to the individual attribution with and experience of membership within ethnic groups. Can they also be observed across the boundaries of moderate religious, i.e. value-discernable groups?
Research questions:
1) Is group attachment within moderate religious groups purely emotional or also, resp. to some extent, cognitive-definitory?
2) What is the interaction between the emotional and the cognitive across different social definers of those belonging to moderate religious groups, definers such as age, gender, status, and specialization, and between these definers?
3) Most notably, how do emotional and cognitive stimuli reinforce prosocial, peaceful behavior of individuals within the respective social group, and how may this be considered conducive to peace in society as a whole?
Excellent questions, on the other hand, we have to look at the possibility that people who are pro social have a greater tendency to join moderate religious (or other social organizations) groups
Thank you for that answer. We seem to be faced with a chicken-and-egg problem in some respects.
