项目摘要

Self-enhancement and religiosity are central human phenomena. But how are the two related? World religions describe self-enhancement as something irreligious. They believe that religiosity lets self-enhancement run dry. If this were the case, one would have to doubt the existence of a universal need for self-esteem, because self-enhancement is self-esteem's most reliable expression. Thus, the topic of self-enhancement and religiosity is relevant for the much-debated universality question surrounding self-esteem. The topic is also relevant for the validity of many self-theories, which are based on the assumption that self-esteem and self-enhancement are human universals. Additionally, the topic informs about the suitability of much-discussed techniques to quite self-enhancement permanently.Here, I apply for the first research program investigating the relation between self-enhancement and religiosity: (1) A meta-analysis will summarize existent indirect evidence in order to further validate the Self-Enhancement Increases Religiosity (SEIR) model. (2) Experimental analogs of the meta-analysis will test the causal assumptions of the SEIR model. (3) A three-wave longitudinal study will test for a complementary effect of religiosity on self-enhancement in the religious domain and this study will also seek to establish religious self-enhancement as a process explaining established religiosity effects.The present research is therefore relevant for the universality of self-enhancement and its implications. The present research is also relevant for a key question of the psychology of religion: Why does religiosity persist?

自我提升和宗教信仰是人类的核心现象。但是这两者有什么关系呢？世界宗教将自我提升描述为非宗教的东西。他们认为，宗教虔诚会让自我提升干涸。如果是这样的话，人们就不得不怀疑是否存在对自尊的普遍需求，因为自我提升是自尊最可靠的表现。因此，自我提升和宗教信仰的主题与围绕自尊的备受争议的普遍性问题相关。这个话题也与许多自我理论的有效性有关，这些理论都是基于自尊和自我提升是人类普遍存在的假设。此外，该主题还介绍了一些被广泛讨论的技术对永久自我增强的适用性。在此，我申请了第一个研究自我提升与宗教虔诚度之间关系的研究项目：(1)通过meta分析，总结现有的间接证据，进一步验证自我提升增加宗教虔诚度（SEIR）模型。(2) meta分析的实验类比将检验SEIR模型的因果假设。(3)三波纵向研究将检验宗教信仰对自我提升在宗教领域的互补效应，并寻求建立宗教信仰自我提升作为一个解释既定宗教信仰效应的过程。因此，本研究与自我提升的普遍性及其意义相关。目前的研究也与宗教心理学的一个关键问题有关：为什么宗教性会持续存在？
