科学进步，特别是进化生物学、遗传学、神经科学和人工智能方面的进步，对宗教和流行的人格概念提出了许多挑战。本文报告了第一个关于学生对科学与广泛持有的人格信念之间相互作用的信念的大规模研究。本文介绍了对英国中学生（15-16 岁）进行的问卷调查（n = 530）的结果，调查了他们关于人格和科学地位的信念和概念。这项调查的部分动机是一项访谈研究和之前的一项较小规模的调查，调查显示，许多学生很难将他们的信仰与他们认为的科学所说的调和起来，而且有些人不情愿地认为灵魂是一个与科学事实不相容的“好故事”。这项更大规模的调查结果表明，大多数学生相信某种形式的灵魂。即便如此，无论他们是否认为自己有宗教信仰，大多数学生都表达了一种信念，即人类无法得到充分的科学解释，一些学生认为这一立场部分拒绝了持有科学世界观的含义。
Scientific advances, particularly in evolutionary biology, genetics, neuroscience and artificial intelligence, present many challenges to religious and popular notions of personhood. This paper reports the first large-scale study on students’ beliefs about the interactions between science and widely held beliefs about personhood. The paper presents findings from a questionnaire survey (n = 530) administered to English secondary school students (age 15–16) in which their beliefs and concepts regarding personhood and the position of science were investigated. The survey was motivated in part by an interview study and a previous, smaller survey which revealed that many students struggle to reconcile their beliefs with what they suppose science to say and also that some have reluctantly dismissed the soul as a ‘nice story’ which is incompatible with scientific facts. The results from this larger-scale survey indicate that a majority of the students believe in some form of soul. Even so, and regardless of whether or not they identified themselves as religious, most students expressed a belief that human persons cannot be fully explained scientifically, a position that some students perceived as a partial rejection of what it means to hold a scientific worldview.
