Using data from two national surveys, we investigated whether quality duration were associated with willingness donate local charities, religious institutions, political parties. Methods We conducted secondary analyses independent samples: Wave 5 6 the Baylor Religion Survey (BRS-5 BRS-6). The BRS-5 included 1,501 participants (2017) BRS-6 1,248 (2021). Both surveys used random address-based sample methodologies approximate population-representative samples, stratification weighting targets matching demographics for age, gender, race/ethnicity, education, region. Each survey inquired about donations In addition, questions (restedness, onset latency); only quality. Results BRS-5, people more likely a charity institution if they had better durations (charity: p = .004, OR 1.39; institution: .05, OR: 1.45) .015, OR=1.18; .003, 1.38). Some these outcomes remained significant after controlling income, race/ethnicity (e.g., quality: .026, 1.30; duration: 1.48). Similar emerged in BRS-6, being (p < .001, OR=1.33), even adjusting income demographic factors .029, OR=1.19). Sleep measures not significantly parties factors. Conclusion Better was likelihood locally. There is bidirectional relationship between prosocial behaviors.
