Abstract

The present chapter is part of a much larger study that examines attitudes toward tax evasion and bribery. This chapter examines attitudes toward bribery among Buddhists in 20 countries. The countries are ranked to show the relative acceptance or opposition to bribery. Data were taken from the most recent wave of interviews (Wave 7) of the World Values Survey, which was conducted between 2017 and 2022 in more than 90 countries. The study found that not all Buddhists think alike when it comes to the acceptability of bribery. Those in Italy, Bangladesh, and Japan showed the strongest opposition to bribery, while those in Malaysia, Mongolia, and Canada showed the least opposition.
