Abstract

In this paper, we examine and compare the impact of cultural differences on intergenerational altruism in Turkish people living in Turkey and in Germany, using the anthropological concept of worldview. Data were gathered from four surveys: nationwide surveys in Turkey and Germany, an online survey of Turkish people living in Germany, and a survey conducted as an experiment in a mosque attended by Turkish people in Germany. We find striking differences in parenting attitudes between Turkish people living in Turkey and those who live in Germany. Turkish people living in Germany tend to resemble German people in their parenting attitudes. We also find that differences in confidence attached to worldview beliefs, differences in religiosity, and the subjective probabilities attached to worldview beliefs (such as “All humans evolved from another living organism”) between Turkish people living in Turkey and those in Germany have statistically significant explanatory power for these differences in parenting attitudes.

世界观与代际利他主义:生活在土耳其和德国的土耳其人的比较

本文运用人类学的世界观，考察和比较了文化差异对生活在土耳其和德国的土耳其人代际利他主义的影响。数据来自四个调查:土耳其和德国的全国性调查，对居住在德国的土耳其人进行的在线调查，以及在德国土耳其人参加的清真寺进行的实验调查。我们发现生活在土耳其的土耳其人和生活在德国的土耳其人在育儿态度上存在显著差异。生活在德国的土耳其人在养育子女的态度上往往与德国人相似。我们还发现，生活在土耳其的土耳其人和生活在德国的土耳其人在世界观信仰上的信心差异、宗教信仰上的差异以及世界观信仰上的主观概率(如“所有人类都是从另一种生物进化而来的”)上的差异，在统计上对这些养育态度的差异具有显著的解释力。
