四项研究调查了北美人对死亡的认识是否会加剧对超自然代理人的信仰。在研究1和2中,死亡率显著性导致更多的宗教信仰,更强烈的信仰上帝,在神圣的干预。在研究3和研究4中,死亡率显著性增加了超自然代理人的信念,即使超自然代理人是在一个文化上陌生的背景下(研究3中的神圣佛陀,研究4中的萨满精神)。后一种影响主要发生在宗教信徒中,他们主要是基督徒。超自然的代理人的信念在减轻死亡率的关注的作用的影响进行了讨论。
Four studies examined whether awareness of mortality intensifies belief in supernatural agents among North Americans. In Studies 1 and 2, mortality salience led to more religiosity, stronger belief in God, and in divine intervention. In Studies 3 and 4, mortality salience increased supernatural agent beliefs even when supernatural agency was presented in a culturally alien context (divine Buddha in Study 3, Shamanic spirits in Study 4). The latter effects occurred primarily among the religiously affiliated, who were predominantly Christian. Implications for the role of supernatural agent beliefs in assuaging mortality concerns are discussed.
