Hypothesis
Pathogen prevalence should increase the magnitude of the correlations between religiosity and individualistic orientations.
Note
Pathogen prevalence had a strong and negative relationship with expressive individualism, and a marginally significant, negative correlation with social individualism. It was not significant for economic individualism.
