Relationship Between Religion and Love of Money: A Mature Vietnamese survey

Abstract

Religious life in Vietnam in recent times has been very active in association with economic growth and living standards. This fact has received great attention from domestic and international scientists. To supplement the evidence of previous studies and enrich the research literature, this study explores the relationship between the relationship between religious orientation and love of money among adult Vietnamese. This study was conducted through a cross-sectional survey using intentional sampling technique (n=200). Multivariate linear regression analysis technique was applied to prove the hypotheses. Research results show that there is a connection between the love of money and the Vietnamese people's behavior of burning votive papers for the dead. Individuals who care about money tend to offer votive papers to the dead from non-religious motives, Individuals who are not interested in money tend to offer votive papers to the dead from religious motives.
