Abstract

ABSTRACT Based on the premise that psychologists of religion and spirituality tend to define our objects of interest only on our own terms and not on the terms of the people we study, it is suggested that we need to be more intellectually humble in our work. The empirical study of intellectual humility is provided as a case in point. Recent research by the author and his colleagues provide evidence that research findings showing that religious people are less intellectually humble than non-religious people may be a function of how intellectual humility is being measured. When theistic humility is accounted for in the measure of intellectual humility, religious people not only demonstrate intellectual humility, but such humility predicts well-being. Implications and recommendations for the study of religiousness and spirituality are provided.

宗教与精神心理学中的知识分子谦逊

基于宗教和精神心理学家倾向于只根据我们自己的条件而不是根据我们研究的人的条件来定义我们感兴趣的对象的前提，建议我们在工作中需要更加理智地谦虚。知识谦逊的实证研究提供了一个恰当的例子。作者和他的同事最近的研究提供了证据，表明研究结果表明，宗教人士在智力上不如非宗教人士谦逊，这可能是衡量智力谦逊的方式的一个功能。当有神论的谦卑被用来衡量智力上的谦卑时，宗教人士不仅表现出智力上的谦卑，而且这种谦卑预示着幸福。对宗教性和精神性的研究提供了启示和建议。
