Abstract
After the government was overthrown by Taliban militias in August 2021, the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan has deteriorated further. Many thousands of Afghans fled the country due to human rights violations and lack of security. Previous research indicates that moral conviction drives prosocial behavior. Therefore, this study aims to conceptually replicate this relationship in the context of the Afghanistan refugee crisis and examine under which conditions it occurs. We expected that (1) moral conviction is positively associated with prosocial behavior, (2) self-efficacy is positively associated with prosocial behavior, and (3) self-efficacy moderates this relationship, such that it is stronger for high scores of self-efficacy. We conducted a correlational study in which participants from an American sample (N = 249) completed an online survey. Results indicated statistical support for the relationship between moral conviction and prosocial behavior, self-efficacy was not significantly associated with prosocial behavior. The interaction effect was marginally significant, however, the relationship between moral conviction and prosocial behavior did not vary as a function of self-efficacy. To overcome the limitations of this study, further research is needed to investigate the generalizability of our findings, and to examine under which conditions the relationship between moral conviction and prosocial behavior occurs. Keywords: moral conviction, prosocial behavior, self-efficacy, Afghanistan, refugee crisis
