Abstract: Abstract This chapter examines attitudes toward bribery in lower middle-income countries. Data were taken from the most recent wave of interviews (Wave 7) of the World Values Survey, which were conducted between 2017 and 2022 in more than 90 countries. Overall attitude is reported and various demographic variables such as gender, age, marital status, education level, income level, employment status, sector of employment, social class, religion, position on the political spectrum, happiness, confidence in government, and others are examined to determine whether attitudes differ significantly between subgroups. The study found that some demographic variables were significant while others were not.
