“In a common-pool-resource game played on Israeli religious and secular kibbutzim, religious men, who are expected to pray communally three times a day, took significantly less from the shared pool than religious women and secular men and women, and men's synagogue attendance was negatively correlated with the amount taken.”
Context. Religious males took 29.9 shekels on average against 33.7 for religious females; the sex difference on religious kibbutzim was largely due to men who attend synagogue daily. Secular kibbutzim in the sample were less privatised than the movement as a whole.
