comportamiento prosocial, prosocialidad, religión, gratitudResumen
Diversas religiones consideran que el comportamiento prosocial es un deber y un valor al interior de sus comunidades de fieles. La evidencia científica ha asociado la prosocialidad con la solución de diversas problemáticas sociales y ambientales. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la influencia de la religión y la gratitud sobre el comportamiento prosocial. Se utilizó una metodología cuantitativa, un diseño transversal y un muestro por conveniencia de 206 adultos (Chile). Se aplicaron escalas de religiosidad, gratitud y prosocialidad. Los datos se analizaron mediante las pruebas U Mann-Whitney, Chi cuadrado, correlación de Spearman y regresión lineal. Se encontró que quienes declaran asistir a una comunidad religiosa muestran mayores niveles de comportamiento prosocial y que el tipo de respuesta prosocial de quienes se declaran religiosos presenta diferencias en función de si el beneficiario integra el endogrupo o el exogrupo religioso. Además, quienes manifiestan sentir gratitud hacia un Dios presentan mayores niveles de comportamiento prosocial que quienes no sienten gratitud. Finalmente, se encontró que las variables prosocialidad, religión y gratitud correlacionan positivamente, y estas dos últimas variables son predictores de la prosocialidad.
