Abstract

This paper tests whether or not psychological type preferences predicted the extent of liberal versus conservative attitudes towards a range of controversial moral issues among 3,515 clergy and laity from the Church of England who took part in the 2013 Church Times survey. Summated rating scales were produced from Likert items related to four different issues: same-sex relationships, the ordination of women, divorce and remarriage, and cohabitation. After allowing for general theological stance, psychological type preferences for sensing over intuition and thinking over feeling were significantly associated with more conservative attitudes. For theological liberals, sensing types had slightly more conservative moral attitudes, on average, than did intuitive types, but there was no difference among theological conservatives. For theological conservatives, thinking types had slightly more conservative moral attitudes, on average, than did feeling types, but there was no difference among theological liberals.
英国教会争论的问题:神学和心理学的作用
本文测试了参加2013年《教会时报》调查的3515名英国教会神职人员和俗人的心理类型偏好是否预测了他们对一系列有争议的道德问题的自由主义与保守主义态度的程度。综合评分量表是根据与四个不同问题相关的Likert项目制作的:同性关系、女性的圣职、离婚和再婚以及同居。在考虑到一般神学立场后,心理类型偏好感知而非直觉和思考而非感觉与更保守的态度显著相关。对于神学自由主义者来说,感知型的道德态度平均略高于直觉型,但神学保守派之间没有差异。对于神学保守派来说,思维型的道德态度平均略高于感觉型,但神学自由派之间没有差异。
