在一系列的三项研究中，我们研究了宗教如何影响个人的情感体验和评价。在研究1中，来自49个国家的基督徒、穆斯林、印度教徒、佛教徒和犹太教徒（N = 7231）报告了他们经历九种离散情绪的频率。结果表明，不同的情绪经历的频率组水平的差异。第二项研究考察了第一项研究中发现的情感体验模式是否在这些不同宗教传统的信徒对这些情感的评价中得到了复制。研究3实验操纵宗教身份的显着性，以检查宗教对当前情绪体验的影响。在这些研究中，研究结果提供了宗教（e。例如，在一个实施例中，基督教、佛教等）与情感状态的体验和信仰有关。根据研究结果讨论了幸福和积极心理学研究的意义。
In a series of three studies, we examined the ways in which religion informs the individual experience and valuation of emotions. In Study 1, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist and Jewish participants (N = 7231) in 49 nations reported the frequency with which they experienced nine discrete emotions. Results indicate group level differences in the frequency with which different emotions are experienced. Study 2 examined whether the patterns of emotional experiences found in Study 1 replicated in the valuation of those emotions by the adherents of those different religious traditions. Study 3 experimentally manipulated the salience of religious identity to examine the effect of religion on the current experience of emotions. Across the studies, findings provide evidence that religion (e. g., Christianity, Buddhism, etc) is related to the experience of, and beliefs about, emotional states. Implications for the study of happiness and positive psychology are discussed in light of the findings.
