Abstract

ABSTRACT Prior research has provided initial evidence that thinking about being excluded by God lowers self-reported well-being in a Dutch sample of Christian students. The current research sought to replicate this finding in two studies. The first experiment recruited a USA sample of Christian students from a secular and religious school. The second experiment recruited a USA online sample of Christians contacted via Mechanical Turk. Results of these two studies replicated the initial finding that thinking about being excluded by God lowers self-reported well-being relative to thinking about being included by God, or contemplating that God created the earth. Overall, these results show how people’s perceived relationship with God may influence their quality of life.

被上帝排斥的思考对幸福感的影响:一种复制与延伸

摘要先前的研究提供了初步证据，表明在荷兰的一个基督教学生样本中，认为被上帝排斥会降低自我报告的幸福感。目前的研究试图在两项研究中复制这一发现。第一个实验招募了来自美国一所世俗和宗教学校的基督教学生样本。第二个实验招募了一个通过Mechanical Turk联系的基督徒的美国在线样本。这两项研究的结果复制了最初的发现，即与被上帝包容或认为上帝创造了地球相比，被上帝排斥会降低自我报告的幸福感。总的来说，这些结果表明，人们与上帝的关系可能会影响他们的生活质量。
