Journal Title: International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 6
Abstract
This study aims to investigate the moderating effects on the relationship between the attitudes and perceptions of youth religious tolerance behaviour. Typically experience affects perceptions and attitudes, and attitudes and perceptions are important components in studying the individual behaviour. A total of 500 respondents were randomly selected for this study consisted of youth aged between 15 to 24 years of ethnic Malays, Chinese and Indians. The instrument used was a questionnaire socio-religious tolerance and data were analysed using SPSS 22.0 and AMOS 24.0. The results showed that the experience is not a significant moderator of the relation between perception and behaviour, attitude and religious tolerance behaviour. Level of attitudes and perceptions of respondents' religious tolerance are high, but the religious tolerance behaviour is moderate. All three of these constructs are related to each other. However, attitudes have a stronger relationship with religious tolerance behaviour compared with the perception and religious tolerance behaviour. Results from this study showed attitude is more related with behaviours compared to the perception and behaviour of religious tolerance. The implications of this study showed that although the experience is an important factor in behaviour, but for the youth experience in religious tolerance is still less than the older people experience. So, the experience factor does not affect the youth.
