Abstract
This chapter examines attitudes toward bribery in the United States. Data were taken from the most recent wave of interviews (Wave 7) of the World Values Survey, which were conducted between 2017 and 2022 in more than 90 countries. Overall attitude is reported and various demographic variables such as gender, age, marital status, education level, employment status, social class, income level, happiness, position on the political spectrum, sector of employment, confidence in government, religiosity, religious denomination, ethnicity, religious participation, and belief in God are examined to determine whether attitudes differ significantly between subgroups. Citations to summaries of more than 50 bribery studies are also given. The study found that some demographic variables were significant while others were not. © 2025 The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
