We used regression analyses to define the predictive strength of religious attitudes and background characteristics in terms of the individual civil rights. We only analysed variables with at least a moderate correlation with the relevant set of civil rights (r ≥ .14).

As shown in Table 4.6, the regression analysis of women’s rights explains about one-fourth of the variance (R2 .27; Adj. R2 .26). Agreement with the opinion that religions should be open to current trends in society (cultural conformity : β .11) indicates a propensity to support women’s rights , as does the idea that politicians may consult religions on ethical issues (consultation: β .13). Women’s rights are more likely to be supported by women than by men (gender : β − .17). Among the psychological traits, empathy (β .14) and a positive appreciation of multiculturalism (β .09) have increased the probability of support for women’s rights. By contrast, social dominance orientation (β − .22) has a negative impact on support for women’s rights.Table 4.6Regression analyses for civil rights with weights (β) for each variable and total explained variance (R2 and Adjusted R2)
