Abstract

The current study aimed to examine the effects of mortality salience (MS) and religion on aggression. Participants were 120 students (58.3% females; 73.3% with religion) from a private university in Singapore. They were randomly assigned to either the MS condition or the control condition, asked to remember a time when they were deeply hurt or offended by a person, and provided an opportunity for revenge by sticking pins into a voodoo doll that represented the person. The results showed that participants in the MS condition inserted a significantly higher number of pins into the voodoo doll than participants in the control condition. However, this effect was not moderated by religion and extent of belief in God. Limitations include the consideration of participants with religion as one group for data analysis. Future research directions include recruiting a larger and more diverse group of participants.

死亡紧迫感和宗教对攻击行为的影响

本研究旨在探讨死亡率显著性（MS）和宗教信仰对攻击行为的影响。参与者为新加坡一所私立大学的 120 名学生（58.3% 为女性；73.3% 有宗教信仰）。他们被随机分配到 MS 条件或对照条件下，被要求回忆一次他们被某人深深伤害或冒犯的经历，并为他们提供了一个报复的机会，即用针刺入代表此人的巫毒娃娃。结果显示，MS 条件下的参与者向巫毒娃娃插针的数量明显高于对照条件下的参与者。然而，这种影响并没有受到宗教信仰和对神的信仰程度的影响。局限性包括将有宗教信仰的参与者作为一个群体进行数据分析。未来的研究方向包括招募更多、更多元化的参与者。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
