Do mortality cues increase state autonomy? The moderating roles of trait autonomy, flexibility, and curiosity
This study tested the effects of deep and subtle mortality cues on state autonomy, in addition to the moderating roles of trait autonomy, psychological flexibility, and curiosity. Australian undergraduate students ( N = 442) self-reported on moderator variables before being randomly allocated to receive either deep mortality cues, subtle mortality cues, or a control task, and finally reported their state autonomy for life goals. Trait autonomy di…
Living Authentically in the Face of Death: Predictors of Autonomous Motivation Among Individuals Exposed to Chronic Mortality Cues Compared to a Matched Community Sample
Despite research demonstrating positive outcomes of conscious death reflection, very little research directly examines a core proposition of existential psychologists-that death reflection provides an opportunity for more authentic living. The current study compared individuals chronically exposed to genuine mortality cues (funeral/cemetery workers, n = 107) to a matched control sample ( n = 121) on autonomous motivation. It also assessed the mod…
The Indonesian Mental Health Act: Psychiatrists’ views on the act and its implementation
In 2014, the Indonesian government passed the Mental Health Act (MHA) to address the country’s complex mental health situation. The implementation of the MHA has been slow, and little is known about how the MHA is perceived by mental healthcare providers within local settings. This study aimed to obtain insight into psychiatrists’ views on the MHA, including on how it affected their clinical practice and on challenges of translating the MHA into …
Connectedness to Nature is More Strongly Related to Connection to Distant, Rather Than Close, Others
Much research supports the contention that human beings have a fundamental need to belong (Baumeister & Leary, 1995 ). This need can be satisfied by social connections such as friends and family or by a connection to more abstract entities such as culture, country, or humanity as a whole (McFarland, Webb, & Brown, 2012 ). Ecopsychologists have also argued that the need to belong can be satisfied by feeling connected to nature (Baxter & Pelletier,…
Look Up in the Sky: Latent Content Analysis of the Real Life Superhero Community
The Real Life Superhero (RLSH) subculture is a growing global community of individuals who adopt the superhero motif and are motivated by prosocial goals. Although the community has been the focus of documentaries, news articles and numerous internet forums, little academic research has been conducted on the composition of this subculture. Through the use of an online survey, socio-demographic information about this community was collected. This …
The Internal Consistency Reliability of the Katz-Francis Scale of Attitude toward Judaism among Australian Jews
The Katz-Francis Scale of Attitude toward Judaism was developed initially to extend among the Hebrew-speaking Jewish community in Israel a growing body of international research concerned to map the correlates, antecedents and consequences of individual differences in attitude toward religion as assessed by the Francis Scale of Attitude toward Christianity. The present paper explored the internal consistency reliability and construct validity of …
A thematic comparison of religiosity profiles between Christians with low and high schizotypy
This exploratory qualitative study aimed to identify themes relevant to the elements constituting a religiosity profile that, at least among Christians, appears to enhance both aspects of mental health and fundamental components of psychological well‐being. Semi‐structured interviews were conducted with eight participants, who were classified as having either high or low levels of schizotypy. Following an inductive thematic analysis approach, the…

Spiritual-Hypnosis Assisted Therapy: A New Culturally-Sensitive Approach to the Treatment and Prevention of Mental Disorders
This article describes the therapeutic approach of Spiritual-Hypnosis Assisted Therapy (SHAT), originally developed in Bali, Indonesia, and its applications to treatment, intervention, and prevention of mental illness among individuals, groups, and communities. A background of the Balinese culture and religion is also presented to show how it was integral to the development of the method. SHAT has been extensively and successfully used in clinica…
Religious attachment dimensions and schizotypal personality traits
This brief pilot study explored associations between religious attachment (RA) and schizotypy in a nonclinical Christian sample (N = 96). Participants responded to questionnaires assessing the above constructs, as well as adult attachment and neuroticism. Religious attachment accounted for 15.2% of the variance in cognitive schizotypy. Anxious religious attachment uniquely predicted cognitive schizotypy, while its effects on other schizotypy trai…
Aspects of identity in a British Christian sample
Quantitative studies on religiosity and identity appear to be generally absent. In the present study we investigated this relationship, and predicted that personal identity would be positively associated with church attendance, and mainly intrinsic and quest Christian religious orientations, while social identity would exhibit a positive association with extrinsic orientation. A total of 161 British Christian adults took part in the study and res…
Schizotypal personality traits and attitudes towards Hinduism among Balinese Hindus
The study explored the relationship between schizotypal personality traits and attitude of Hindus towards their faith. A total of 309 Balinese Hindus responded to the Santosh-Francis Scale of Attitude towards Hinduism, the Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire Brief, and a number of external indicators and religious practices. Attitude towards Hinduism, frequency of prayer, and temple attendance had a rather weak positive relationship with each o…
Exploring the Relationship between Schizotypal Personality Traits and Religious Attitude in an International Muslim Sample
The study explored the nature of the relationship between schizotypal personality traits and attitude of Muslims towards their faith. A total of 114 adult Muslims from eighteen countries responded to the Sahin-Francis scale of Attitude towards Islam, the Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire Brief, the short version of the Eysenck Lie scale, and a number of external indicators and religious practices. Attitude towards Islam, frequency of prayer a…
When 2–3% really matters: The (un)importance of religiosity in psychotherapy
Previous research suggests that clients' religious beliefs are commonly excluded from therapeutic practice. Often, this exclusion is attributed to practitioners' lack of knowledge or appropriate skills. Such analyses, however, have little regard for the interactional aspects of the therapist/client encounter. Drawing upon work within discursive social psychology, we argue that the exclusion of religious beliefs does not reflect therapists' lack o…
Three-factor model of Schizotypal Personality in a British Christian sample
The three-factor structure of schizotypy, as measured through the Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire (SPQ), was assessed in a non-clinical Christian sample of 161 British adults from a wide range of denominational backgrounds. Participants were recruited through non-random purposive sampling. The trifactor model was unambiguously replicated. Furthermore, the SPQ exhibited excellent internal consistencies (range 0.73 to 0.97), while Confirmator…
