Religion and culture are sources of values and norms in society. However, the narrow interpretation of religious narrative puts it in a position that is contrary to the culture, such as the culture of bowing practiced by students at Pesantren Raudhatut Thalibin. In this connection, intense dialogue with various values is needed to bring forth an explanation that religion and culture in the context of Indonesian Islam are inseparable. This study aims to explain the validity of the culture of bowing in religious narratives. To achieve this purpose, this study is a qualitative study with an interactive model of analysis, which includes three stages, namely data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results of this study explain that bowing is the local wisdom of the Javanese people that does not conflict with religious texts. The culture of bowing is a form of respect for older people. It is an internalization of religious texts with a sociocultural dimension because of the existing interpretation patterns and social construction in the form of religious attitudes and behavior in practicing Islamic teachings.

This article presents data on the religious attitudes of Muslim minority communities. Similar themes have been studied considerably, but most of them are researched in the Muslim majority areas. Therefore, the author tries to delve into the same topic, but it investigates a different locus, namely how the religious views and attitudes of Muslim minority youth in Manado. The findings reveal that the attitudes and behavior of Muslim youth in Manado towards diversity tend to be conservative with scriptural and puritanical features. However, their basic attitude is highly open towards moderate values and principles, with a decent respect for individual freedom and human rights, even though norms and culture constrain them, this shows a paradox. On the one hand, they show a tolerant attitude, but on other certain aspects or problems, their attitude tends to be intolerant. In its context, the attitudes and religiosity of these Muslim youths have sparked social change in the City of Manado.

Studying of the Qur'an continuously, integrated and comprehensively becomes a necessity if we want to practice the teachings of Islam �kaffah�. At least, this is the basis of dakwah implemented by the Chinese Muslim community in Makassar. One indicator of being �kaffah� in embracing Islam is always showing moderate religious attitudes in all aspects of life, both individual and collective, at the level of faith, worship, muamalah, and morals. In understanding and practicing the teachings of Islam, the Chinese Muslim community in Makassar reflects religious moderation; therefore, their presence did not cause conflict in Makassar locally, but a blessing for the local community. Their Chinese identity is maintained by reconstructing the religious value of their traditions and culture. In this community, the belief of Islamic theology is not religiously indicated as elements of syncretism. As a result, their Chinese identity survives copes with their Islamic belief. Ultimately, moderate of Islamic teachings, as a religion of �rahmatan lil al alamiin�, is then reflected in their daily lives, including in their religious attitudes and behavior.

Abstract. The Influence of Halal Labelization and Religious Behavior of Consumer Buying Interest: Analysis of Two Alternative Models. This research was conducted to determine the effect of clarity on halal labels, and religious attitudes and behavior on consumer buying interest. The attitude and behavior of Muslims in buying a product is influenced by the presence or absence of halal labels and religious attitudes and behavior. But at this time no one has examined the impact of the clarity / clarity of the halal label on a product in influencing the desires of Muslim consumers. In this study two models were developed, in which the first model wanted to see the impact of the clarity of halal labeling together with religious behavior as a purely independent variable effect on buying interest. Whereas alternative models or moderation models, want to see the possibility of halal label clarity as a moderating relationship between religious behavior and buying interest. This study shows that the clarity of the halal label is not a moderating variable on the relationship between religious behavior and buying interest, but it is a purely independent variable that together religious behavior encourages buying interest. The results showed that the clarity of the halal label is a major factor that can encourage buying interest in Muslim consumers. Then furthermore, the level of observance of Muslims in implementing religion/ religious observance also encourages interest in buying halal products. Abstrak: Pengaruh Kejelasan Labelisasi Halal dan Perilaku Beragama Terhadap Minat Beli Konsumen: Analisis Dua Model Alternatif. Penelitian ini melihat pengaruh kejelasan label halal, dan sikap serta perilaku beragama terhadap minat beli konsumen. Sikap dan perilaku umat muslim dalam membeli suatu produk dipengaruhi oleh ada tidaknya label halal serta sikap dan perilaku beragama. Tetapi saat ini belum ada yang meneliti dampak jelasannya / kejelasan label halal dalam suatu produk dalam mempengaruhi keinginan konsumen muslim. Dalam penelitian ini dikembangkan dua model, dimana model pertama ingin melihat dampak kejelasan labelisasi halal bersama-sama dengan perilaku beragama sebagai variabel independen murni pengaruhnya terhadap minat beli. Sedangkan model alternatif atau model moderasi, ingin melihat kemungkinan kejelasan label-halal sebagai moderasi hubungan antara perilaku beragama terhadap minat beli. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kejelasan label halal bukan merupakan variabel moderasi terhadap hubungan antara perilaku beragama dengan minat beli, tetapi merupakan variable independen murni yang bersama-sama perilaku beragama mendorong minat beli. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kejelasan label halal merupakan faktor utama yang dapat mendorong minat beli konsumen muslim. Kemudian selanjutnya, tingkat ketaatan muslim dalam melaksanakan agama/ taat dalam beragama juga mendorong minat beli produk halal.

This research applies the binding communication model to the sustainable communication strategies implemented in most hotels. The binding communication model links a persuasive message with the implementation of a low-cost commitment to strengthen the link between the attitudes and behavior of those receiving the message. We compared the effectiveness of a classical communication strategy (n = 86) with that of a binding communication strategy (n = 101) to encourage guests to choose sustainable behavior. Our results show that using the binding communication strategy generates significantly more sustainable behavior in guests than using the classical communication strategy. We discuss our results and suggest future avenues of research.

Abstract. The core aim of the present study is to compare the effects of a safety campaign and a behavior modification program on traffic safety. As is the case in community-based health promotion, the present study's approach of the attitude campaign was based on active participation of the group of recipients. One of the reasons why many attitude campaigns conducted previously have failed may be that they have been society-based public health programs. Both the interventions were carried out simultaneously among students aged 18-19 years in two Norwegian high schools (n = 342). At the first high school the intervention was behavior modification, at the second school a community-based attitude campaign was carried out. Baseline and posttest data on attitudes toward traffic safety and self-reported risk behavior were collected. The results showed that there was a significant total effect of the interventions although the effect depended on the type of intervention. There were significant differences in attitude and behavior only in the sample where the attitude campaign was carried out and no significant changes were found in the group of recipients of behavior modification.

Abstract. Most employees participate in workplace meetings, and their experiences in meetings can vary greatly, which can lead to positive or negative effects on both job attitudes and behavior. In this study, we examined the effect that a meeting attendee’s competence in the meeting topic had on their participation in the meeting and their perception of meeting effectiveness. Results indicated those with higher levels of competence in the meeting topic were more likely to participate and through participation found their meeting more effective; this relationship was stronger when employee dissent in the meetings was high. Leaders should ensure that those who are present in a meeting are competent in the topic of the meeting and encourage them to participate.
