The Intergenerational Transmission of Religion
There is increasing evidence for the intergenerational decline of religiosity across many different countries: religious beliefs, behaviours, and identities of parents are not being passed on to their children. This Element surveys the psychological and sociological research on the intergenerational transmission of religion, focussing on the factors that influence it. After introducing the topic in Section 1, Section 2 describes the methods used …
Between the representationalist rock and the dispositionalist hard place
Are religious/spiritual beliefs and behaviours associated with how people cope with traumatic events? Findings from the parental generation of a UK birth cohort
This article examines the relationship between religiosity and response to traumatic life events in a UK longitudinal birth cohort study. Previous literature on coping focuses on how individuals use religion to cope with such events, whereas this article looks more broadly at whether aspects of religiosity are associated with how individuals are affected by life events. Four religiosity measures were used: religious belief, religious affiliation,…
Psychometric properties of the Lithuanian versions of the Revised Collett-Lester Fear of Death Scale and the Existential Death Anxiety Scale
Two death anxiety measures-the Revised Collett-Lester Fear of Death Scale (CLFODS) and the Existential Death Anxiety Scale (EDAS)-facilitate the study of specific aspects of death anxiety. The aim of the present study was to test the psychometric properties of Lithuanian versions of the CLFODS and the EDAS. The sample consisted of 528 participants, 75.9% were women, from 18 to 82 years old ( M = 33.63, SD = 14.47). Both scales had good psychometr…
Religiosity, spirituality, and mental health in eight countries
Meta-analyses suggest that religiosity has a positive relationship with mental health. However, methodological concerns limit findings. The purpose of the study was to analyze linear and curvilinear relationships among religiosity, spirituality, and mental health using open science practices and a multinational sample. Relationships among self-reported religiosity, spirituality, depression, anxiety, stress, and life satisfaction were assessed usi…
Religion-Related Values Differently Influence Moral Attitude for Robots in the United States and Japan
Increasing evidence suggests that people show moral concern for robots among other nonhuman entities. Furthermore, people’s attitudes toward new automated technologies such as robots and artificial intelligence (AI) are influenced by their social backgrounds, including religion. Two specific religion-related values, that is, animism and anthropocentrism, have been recognized to influence preference for and familiarity with robots. However, how th…

A many-analysts approach to the relation between religiosity and well-being
The relation between religiosity and well-being is one of the most researched topics in the psychology of religion, yet the directionality and robustness of the effect remains debated. Here, we adopted a many-analysts approach to assess the robustness of this relation based on a new cross-cultural dataset (N=10,535 participants from 24 countries). We recruited 120 analysis teams to investigate (1) whether religious people self-report higher well-…
The Nontheistic Sacred
The psychological functions of the nontheistic sacred in a secular context (metal music culture) were examined for their consistency with previous studies of the sacred in religious contexts using two studies. The first experiment examined music as a form of nontheistic sacred through a comparison of death metal fans (n=89) listening to death metal or hard rock. The second experiment examined how some metal cultural artefacts were perceived as sa…
Exploring the relationship between church worship, social bonding and moral values
Religion is often understood to play a positive role in shaping moral attitudes among believers. We assessed the relationship between church members’ levels of felt connectedness to their respective congregations and perceived similarity in personal and congregational moral values, and whether there was a relationship between these and the amount of time spent in synchronous movement or singing during worship. The similarity between personal and …
Religious Americans Have Less Positive Attitudes Toward Science, but This Does Not Extend to Other Cultures
It is commonly claimed that science and religion are logically and psychologically at odds with one another. However, previous studies have mainly examined American samples; therefore, generalizations about antagonism between religion and science may be unwarranted. We examined the correlation between religiosity and attitudes toward science across 11 studies including representative data from 60 countries ( N = 66,438), nine convenience samples …
A Scientist’s Perspective on Science‐Engaged Theology
On the face of it, a psychologist is an odd choice for a representative of science; as psychologists, our scientific credentials are oft-disparaged, sometimes even by ourselves, only half-jokingly. But it turns out that the scientific work with which this particular cadre of theologians has found meet to engage fits mostly within my disciplinary remit. Truly, in at least this way, this is not our grandparents’ science-and-religion, focused as tha…
Serpent Handling
The ritual handling of serpents remains an unnoticed cultural form for the explanatory aims and theoretical insights desired by cognitive scientists of religion. In the current article, we introduce the Hood and Williams archives at The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga that contains data culled from Hood’s 40-plus year career of studying serpent handlers. The archives contain hundreds of hours of interviews and recordings of speaking in ton…
Indirect and Implicit Measures of Religiosity
The fundamental problem in psychology as a scientific discipline is that of measurement.
Naturalism and Protectionism in the Study of Religions
How should we study religion? Must we be religious ourselves to truly understand it? Do we study religion to advance our knowledge, or should the study of religions help to reintroduce the sacred into our increasingly secularized world?
Rewarding the good and punishing the bad
Measuring supernatural belief implicitly using the Affect Misattribution Procedure
Asking about religious beliefs, or lack thereof, is a sensitive and complex issue. Due to cultural norms, people may be motivated to respond in a socially desirable way. In addition, deliberating about beliefs may yield different responses than intuition-based responses. To develop a better understanding of the relationship between intuition and self-reported belief, we developed a new implicit measure of supernatural belief. Specifically, we ada…
Is Japan Religious
The popular image of Japan and religion presents something of a paradox. On the one hand, large cross-cultural surveys frequently present Japan as a country of non-believers, where only 10–15% of the population selfidentify as religious and the vast majority rank religion as being of little importance to their lives. Yet, any visitor to Japan is likely to be struck by the sheer number of Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples that dot the landscape,…
An Atheist Perspective on Self-Esteem and Meaning Making while under Death Awareness
In accordance with Terror Management Theory research, secular beliefs can serve an important role for mitigating existential concerns by providing atheists with a method to attain personal meaning and bolster self-esteem. Although much research has suggested that religious beliefs are powerful defense mechanisms, these effects are limited or reveal more nuanced effects when attempting to explain atheists’ (non)belief structures. The possibility o…

Death salience moderates the effect of trauma on religiosity
The study represents a significant step in understanding religious responses to trauma, and emphasizes the importance of considering not only the nature of a trauma, but also the dimensions and practices of a victim's religiosity prior to it.

Interpersonal synchrony affects performers’ sense of agency
We investigated if interpersonal synchrony can lead to a sense of agency over another’s movement (extended self-agency). In Experiment 1, we found that extended self-agency was greater during synchrony than asynchrony. However, we also found that synchrony boosted participants’ sense that the other performer had agency over their actions (extended other-agency). This finding may have been because synchrony created a sense of distributed agency. I…
Positive experiences of high arousal martial arts rituals are linked to identity fusion and costly pro‐group actions
A cross‐sectional study was conducted with 605 practitioners of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu ( BJJ ) to test the hypothesis that high arousal rituals promote social cohesion, primarily through identity fusion. BJJ promotion rituals are rare, highly emotional ritual events that often feature gruelling belt‐whipping gauntlets. We used the variation in such experiences to examine whether more gruelling rituals were associated with identity fusion and pro‐gro…

The dynamic emergence of minimal groups
The minimal group paradigm has consistently shown that people will discriminate to favor their own group over an out-group, even when both groups are created arbitrarily by an experimenter. But will people actually form groups that are so arbitrary? And could something as trivial as a randomly assigned name tag color serve as a fault line during group formation? In this study, we use in vivo behavioral tracking (IBT) to precisely and unobtrusivel…

Three Quests for Human Nature
The notion of 'human nature' has long since captured the interest and imagination of philosophers, theologians, and scientists\ as such, it appears that the study of human nature is one amenable to inter-disciplinary cross-fertilization. However, it is not obvious that there is a single coherent project being undertaken, neither between nor within disciplines. Rather, we argue that there are three main quests for human nature - the quest for univ…
Perceived Openness to Experience Accounts for Religious Homogamy
Two studies tested the hypothesis that religious homogamy—assortative mating on the basis of religion—can be partly explained by inferences about religious individuals’ openness to experience, rather than attitudes toward religion per se. Results of Study 1 indicated that non-religious participants perceived non-religious targets to be higher in openness and more appealing as romantic partners, with the first effect statistically accounting for t…
The evolution of extreme cooperation via shared dysphoric experiences
Willingness to lay down one’s life for a group of non-kin, well documented historically and ethnographically, represents an evolutionary puzzle. Building on research in social psychology, we develop a mathematical model showing how conditioning cooperation on previous shared experience can allow individually costly pro-group behavior to evolve. The model generates a series of predictions that we then test empirically in a range of special sample …
Strangers in a Stadium
Social group dynamics are a defining topic of psychological science, yet the field still lacks methods of tracking groups with precision and control. Previous methods have been hampered by limitations either to external validity (e.g., ecologically deficient environments) or to internal validity (e.g., quasi-experimental designs), but a new technique—which we term in vivo behavioral tracking (IBT)—resolves this trade-off. Through IBT, we track la…
What is the causal relationship between death anxiety and religious belief
The virtues of Hilbert’s mathematical problems – or, at least, the best of them – were that they were simply and unambiguously stated, enticingly difficult, and generated yet more advances in mathematics than just the solution of the problems themselves. In the spirit of Hilbert, albeit in empirical mode, we pose the following question to scholars of religion: What is the causal relationship between death anxiety and religious belief? This questi…
