对致幻剂重新燃起的兴趣再次引发了关于它们是否以及如何改变人类信仰的争论。在临床和社会认知领域，迷幻药的消费可能伴随着深刻的，有时是持久的，信念的改变。我们回顾了这些变化及其可能的潜在机制。我们认为，迷幻药可能会改变情感的影响，以及他人对信念如何被灌输的建议，而不是诱导重新产生的信念。至关重要的是，我们发现基线信念（例如迷幻药的可能影响）可能会影响迷幻药的急性效果以及长期变化。如果我们想要利用迷幻药在临床上的明显潜力，让人类更普遍地繁荣起来，就必须从经验上解决这些可能性。
Renewed interest in psychedelics has reignited the debate about whether and how they change human beliefs. In both the clinical and social-cognitive domains, psychedelic consumption may be accompanied by profound, and sometimes lasting, belief changes. We review these changes and their possible underlying mechanisms. Rather than inducing de novo beliefs, we argue psychedelics may instead change the impact of affect and of others’ suggestions on how beliefs are imputed. Critically, we find that baseline beliefs (in the possible effects of psychedelics, for example) might color the acute effects of psychedelics as well as longer-term changes. If we are to harness the apparent potential of psychedelics in the clinic and for human flourishing more generally, these possibilities must be addressed empirically.
