This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program totaling $198,693 will fund research conceptualizing, measuring, and analyzing religious fundamentalism. The University of Maryland, College Park will conduct a full-scale survey of over 3,300 adults from contrasting religious groups to evaluate similarities and differences in fundamentalist beliefs and attitudes. Researchers will develop a standardized fundamentalism scale to gauge orientations toward discipline, literalism, exclusivity, and intolerance across Abrahamic faiths. This comparative study aims to further social scientific understanding of how fundamentalism varies across religions and regions. Insights gained could inform efforts to promote peace by engineering societal values and weakening fundamentalism. The dataset and analytical framework created will also serve as an infrastructure for continued comparative analysis by other scholars.
