Abstract:
A person’s identity is comprised of various components. Some of these components are sex, age, religion, education, ethnicity, etc. These components may shape a person’s experiences and belief systems. In this particular project, the association between religion and perceptions of success factors is examined. More specifically, religious extent is examined in relation to a person’s perceptions of luck and hard work in success. As another depth measure to closely examine this relationship, a person’s sex in relation to their perceptions of luck and hard work in success is also studied. Overall, sex is not quite related to perceptions to success despite the trend of men believing more in luck than women. However, increasing religious extent is significantly related to increasing beliefs of hard work being the most crucial factor for success.
