摘要

三项研究验证了一种假设，即对宗教持多元(相对于非多元)态度会提高情绪，但降低生活意义。研究1 (N = 827)和研究2 (N = 852)表明，与非多元和控制组相比，对基督教(研究1)和伊斯兰教(研究2)持多元态度的学生情绪更好，但生活意义更低。在这两项研究中，条件效应在保守性较低的人群中更强。研究3 (N = 1043)直接复制了研究1，并表明多元主义的存在威胁是由个人不确定性介导的，特别是对于那些不那么保守的人。宗教多元化对一个健康、运转良好的社会很重要，但它也会增加个人的不确定性，从而威胁到人生意义的体验。讨论了克服这一心理障碍的干预措施。

The Existential Challenge of Religious Pluralism: Religion, Politics, and Meaning in Life

ABSTRACT Three studies tested the hypothesis that exposure to pluralistic (vs. non-pluralistic) attitudes about religion would enhance mood but lower meaning in life. Studies 1 (N = 827) and 2 (N = 852) showed that pluralistic attitudes about Christianity (Study 1) and Islam (Study 2) led to better mood but lower meaning in life than non-pluralistic and control passages. In both studies, condition effects were stronger among those low on conservatism. Study 3 (N = 1043) directly replicated Study 1 and showed that the existential threat of pluralism is mediated by personal uncertainty, particularly for those who are less conservative. Religious pluralism is important to a healthy, functioning society, yet threatens the experience of meaning in life by enhancing personal uncertainty. Interventions to overcome this psychological hurdle are discussed.

期刊介绍： The International Journal for the Psychology of Religion (IJPR) is devoted to psychological studies of religious processes and phenomena in all religious traditions. This journal provides a means for sustained discussion of psychologically relevant issues that can be examined empirically and concern religion in the most general sense. It presents articles covering a variety of important topics, such as the social psychology of religion, religious development, conversion, religious experience, religion and social attitudes and behavior, religion and mental health, and psychoanalytic and other theoretical interpretations of religion. The journal publishes research reports, brief research reports, commentaries on relevant topical issues, book reviews, and statements addressing articles published in previous issues. The journal may also include a major essay and commentaries, perspective papers of the theory, and articles on the psychology of religion in a specific country.
