在两个实验中，我们研究了圣诞节展示对参与者的不同心理后果，这些参与者要么庆祝圣诞节，要么不庆祝圣诞节（研究1），要么认为自己是基督徒、佛教徒或锡克教徒（研究2）。参与者在一个小隔间里完成了心理健康的测量，这个小隔间里有或没有一个小的圣诞节展示。在几个幸福指标中，展示伤害了非庆祝者和非基督徒，但增强了庆祝者和基督徒的幸福感。在研究2中，我们发现，展示对非基督徒的负面影响是通过减少包容感来介导的。研究结果引发了人们对文化多样性社会中普遍存在的主导文化符号（如圣诞节展示）的担忧。
In two experiments we examined the differential psychological consequences of being in the presence of a Christmas display on participants who did or did not celebrate Christmas (Study 1), or who identified as Christian, Buddhist, or Sikh (Study 2). Participants completed measures of psychological well-being in a cubicle that either did or did not contain a small Christmas display. Across several indicators of well-being, the display harmed non-celebrators and non-Christians, but enhanced well-being for celebrators and Christians. In Study 2, we found that the negative effect of the display on non-Christians was mediated by reduced feelings of inclusion. The results raise concerns about the ubiquitous presence of dominant cultural symbols (such as Christmas displays) in culturally diverse societies.
