Abstract

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of religiosity and supernatural beliefs on people's visitation to religious healers among the Muslim population using Pew World Muslim Dataset 2012 (N = 31,354). The result of multilevel level logistic regression reveals that religious Muslims are more likely to visit religious healers than non-religious Muslims. Individuals who believe in the supernatural (i.e., evil eye, witchcraft) and that making offerings to them is acceptable in Islam are more likely to visit religious healers than others. Also, a moderation effect indicates these same people are more likely to visit religious healers than religious individuals who do not believe in such supernatural forces. Individuals from lower economic strata and rural areas, females, and non-educated people are more likely to visit religious healers than others. This is the first quantitative study on determinants of people's visitation to religious healers. Limitations and practical implications of the study are also discussed.
宗教虔诚度和超自然信仰对个体访视宗教治疗师的影响
本研究的目的是利用2012年皮尤世界穆斯林数据集(N = 31,354),调查宗教信仰和超自然信仰对穆斯林人口中人们访问宗教治疗师的影响。多层逻辑回归的结果显示,有宗教信仰的穆斯林比无宗教信仰的穆斯林更有可能去看宗教治疗师。那些相信超自然现象(如邪眼、巫术)并且在伊斯兰教中可以接受向超自然现象供品的人比其他人更有可能去看宗教治疗师。此外,适度效应表明,与不相信超自然力量的宗教人士相比,这些人更有可能去看宗教治疗师。来自较低经济阶层和农村地区的个人、女性和未受过教育的人比其他人更有可能去看宗教治疗师。这是第一次对人们拜访宗教治疗师的决定因素进行定量研究。本文还讨论了本研究的局限性和实际意义。
