Xensophia and Xenophobia in and between the Abrahamatic Religions

该项目在跨宗教-希望以后也是跨文化-比较中，使用隐含、明确和传记重建研究工具调查仇外心理和仇外态度。宗教图式进行了评估，这是假设作为调解人的仇外心理和仇外态度。应特别注意心理、社会学和传记背景作为仇外心理和仇外心理的相关因素和预测因素。德国的1，000人参加了一项基于互联网的研究，通过一项反应时间实验-亚伯拉罕的仇外心理测试-调查对其他宗教的潜在偏见。在这项在线研究中，还将包括一份问卷，其中包括明确的仇外态度、心理和社会学倾向以及宗教态度、宗教中心地位和宗教图式的量表。在样本中，一个子样本n=30将被邀请参加一个个人访谈，其中涉及传记，信仰发展和智慧相关的表现。由于“异见”的概念已在宗教哲学、神学及宗教教育中发展，本研究的结果可望在实践神学、牧灵关怀与辅导及宗教教育中启发新的想法。从更广泛的角度来看，预测者，调解人和仇外心理的关系，分别。仇外态度为宗教与暴力的关系以及在各自实践领域的干预选择开辟了新的视角。

This project investigates, in cross-religious – and hopefully later cross-cultural – comparison, xenophobic and xenosophic attitudes using implicit, explicit and biographical-reconstructive research instruments. Religious schemata are assessed, which are hypothesized to function as mediators for xenophobic and xenosophic attitudes. Special attention deserve the psychological, sociological and biographical contexts as correlates and predictors of xenophobia and xenosophia. 1,000 persons in Germany participate in an Internet-based study in which latent prejudice toward other religions is investigated by a reaction time experiment, the Abrahamitic Religions Xenophobia Test. In this online-study, also a questionnaire will be included with scales for explicit xenophobic attitudes, for psychological and sociological predispositions, and for religious attitudes, centrality of religion and religious schemata. Out of the sample, a subsample of n=30 will be invited to participate in a personal interview which attends to biography, faith development and wisdom-related performance. Since the concept of ‘xenosophia’ has been developed in philosophy of religion, theology and religious education, results of the study are supposed to inspire new ideas in practical theology, pastoral care and counseling, and in religious education. In wider perspective, the relation of predictors, mediators and xenophobic, resp. xenosophic attitudes opens new perspectives on the relation of religion and violence, and on intervention options in respective praxis fields.
