Consider the following scenario. Suppose Dave is a religious person who takes his faith very seriously and believes that all people should be treated with kindness and respect. However, Dave also believes that homosexual behavior is morally wrong. One day a new co-worker, Ron, is hired at the office where Dave works and Dave learns that Ron identifies himself as gay and is involved in a relationship with another man. How will Dave react? In addition, what will the other co-workers expect from Dave? Will they expect Dave to treat Ron with kindness and respect or will they expect Dave to make disrespectful comments about Ron and perhaps even behave aggressively toward him?The early work on religiosity and prejudice focused primarily on racial prejudice (e.g., Allport & Ross, 1967), but in the last 30 years research has also addressed how religious people think about and behave toward gay and lesbian people. As one might expect, considerable research suggests that religiosity, operationalized in a variety of ways, is associated with negative views of homosexuality (e.g., Fisher, Derison, Polley, Cadman & Johnston, 1994; Gilad & Stepanova, 2015; Herek, 1987; Hunsberger & Jackson, 2005; Kirkpatrick, 1993; Mellinger & Levant, 2014; Wilkinson & Roys, 2005). In a meta-analysis by Whitley (2009), selfratings of religiosity, fundamentalism, intrinsic religiosity, Christian orthodoxy, and frequency of religious service attendance were all associated with negative attitudes toward gay men and lesbians. It should also be noted that the negative relationship between religiosity and attitudes toward gay men and lesbians is not limited to a single country, but has been found in many nations around the world, including Turkey (Sarac, 2015), Jamaica (West & Cowell, 2015), Malaysia (Ng, Yee, Subramaniam, Loh, & Moreira, 2015), Greece (Papadaki, Plotnikof, Gioumidou, Zisimou, & Papadaki, 2015), Australia (Patrick, Heywood, Simpson, Pitts, Richters, Shelley, & Smith, 2013), Poland (Kossowska, Czernatowicz, & Sekerdej, 2017), Singapore (Detenber, Cenite, Ku, Ong, Tong, & Yeow, 2007), Israel (Eick, Rubinstein, Hertz, & Slater, 2016), and Guatemala, Paraguay, Colombia, and Chile (Chaux & Le, 2016); indeed, Jackle and Wenzelburger (2015) found that religiosity was negatively related to attitudes toward homosexuality in 79 nations included in the World Values Survey, although some religious groups (e.g., Muslims) were more negative than others (e.g., Buddhists).In addition, Tsang and Rowatt (2007) found that intrinsic religiosity-trying to live in accordance with one's faith-was also associated with implicit negative views of homosexuality, and Duck and Hunsberger (1999) found that when participants viewed racism as proscribed (i.e., taught against) by their religious community, negative attitudes toward gay men and lesbians were viewed as nonproscribed. Moreover, consistent with the predictions of Batson, Schoenrade, and Ventis (1993), intrinsic religiosity was associate
考虑以下场景。假设戴夫是一个虔诚的人,他非常认真地对待自己的信仰,并相信所有的人都应该被善待和尊重。然而,戴夫也认为同性恋行为在道德上是错误的。有一天,一个新的同事,罗恩,被雇用在办公室的戴夫工作,戴夫得知罗恩认同自己是同性恋,并与另一个男人的关系。戴夫会有什么反应?另外,其他同事对戴夫有什么期望?他们会期望戴夫善待和尊重罗恩,还是会期望戴夫对罗恩做出不尊重的评论,甚至可能对他表现出攻击性?早期关于宗教信仰和偏见的研究主要集中在种族偏见上(例如,Allport & Ross, 1967),但在过去的30年里,研究也涉及了宗教人士如何看待和对待同性恋者。正如人们所预料的那样,大量的研究表明,以各种方式运作的宗教信仰与对同性恋的负面看法有关(例如,Fisher, Derison, Polley, Cadman & Johnston, 1994;Gilad & Stepanova, 2015;Herek说道,1987;Hunsberger & Jackson, 2005;柯克帕特里克,1993;Mellinger & Levant, 2014;Wilkinson & Roys, 2005)。在惠特利(2009)的一项荟萃分析中,对宗教虔诚度、原教旨主义、内在宗教虔诚度、基督教正统度和参加宗教仪式的频率的自我评价都与对男女同性恋者的负面态度有关。还应该指出的是,宗教信仰与对同性恋者的态度之间的负面关系并不局限于一个国家,而是在世界上许多国家都发现了,包括土耳其(Sarac, 2015),牙买加(West & Cowell, 2015),马来西亚(Ng, Yee, Subramaniam, Loh, & Moreira, 2015),希腊(Papadaki, Plotnikof, Gioumidou, Zisimou, & Papadaki, 2015),澳大利亚(Patrick, Heywood, Simpson, Pitts, Richters, Shelley, & Smith, 2013),波兰(Kossowska,zernatowicz, & Sekerdej, 2017),新加坡(Detenber, Cenite, Ku, Ong, Tong, & Yeow, 2007),以色列(Eick, Rubinstein, Hertz, & Slater, 2016),危地马拉,巴拉圭,哥伦比亚和智利(Chaux & Le, 2016);事实上,Jackle和Wenzelburger(2015)发现,在世界价值观调查中包括的79个国家中,宗教信仰与对同性恋的态度呈负相关,尽管一些宗教团体(如穆斯林)比其他宗教团体(如佛教徒)更消极。此外,Tsang和Rowatt(2007)发现,内在的宗教信仰——试图按照自己的信仰生活——也与对同性恋的隐性负面看法有关。Duck和Hunsberger(1999)发现,当参与者认为种族主义被他们的宗教团体禁止(即被教导反对)时,对男女同性恋的负面态度被认为是不被禁止的。此外,与Batson、Schoenrade和Ventis(1993)的预测一致,内在的宗教信仰与较低程度的种族主义有关,但与较高程度的对同性恋的偏见有关(Duck & Hunsberger, 1999)。因此,就像开篇小品中的戴夫一样,许多宗教人士认为同性恋在道德上是错误的,因此似乎对同性恋者持负面看法。然而,越来越多的研究人员已经认识到,区分对一个人的行为的判断和对这个人的判断是很重要的。像戴夫一样,宗教人士可能会认为同性恋行为在道德上是错误的,但可能会认为同性恋者应该得到善待和尊重。人们能做出这种区分吗?他们能像人们常说的那样,恨罪而爱罪人吗?结果喜忧参半。为了说明这一点,在一项著名的研究中(Batson, Floyd, Meyer, & Winner, 1999),心理学入门参与者有机会帮助一个学生(至少看起来是这样)赢得30美元的奖金,但细节各不相同。…

This article will briefly review the second edition of an important book, Science and pseudoscience in clinical psychology (2nd ed.), edited by Lilienfeld, Lynn, and Lohr (2015), which David Barlow has endorsed as required reading for every student of clinical psychology, and I would add, for everyone in clinical practice in the mental health professions. I have therefore broadened the significance and impact of this book to apply to all of clinical practice and not just specifically to clinical psychology. A Christian perspective on science and pseudoscience in clinical practice will also be provided.In the Foreword to this book, Carol Tavris (pp. ix-xx) reviewed the scientist-practitioner gap a decade later after the publication of the first edition (Lilienfeld, Lynn, & Lohr, 2003). She listed the following examples of beliefs asserted by many psychotherapists or counselors that have been widely accepted by the public, although these beliefs have been dispelled or invalidated by empirical evidence: "Almost all abused children become abusive parents. Almost all children of alcoholics become alcoholic. Children never lie about sexual abuse. Childhood trauma invariably produces emotional symptoms that carry on into adulthood. Memory works like a tape recorder, clicking on at the moment of birth. Hypnosis can reliably uncover buried memories. Traumatic experiences are usually repressed. Hypnosis reliably uncovers accurate memories. Subliminal messages influence behavior. Children who masturbate or "play doctor" have probably been sexually molested. If left unexpressed, anger builds up like steam in a teapot until it explodes in verbal or physical aggression. Projective tests like the Rorschach validly diagnose personality disorders, most forms of psychopathology, and sexual abuse" (pp. xii-xiii).Tavris emphasized that such widely held but erroneous beliefs can have, and have had substantially negative or devastating effects in the lives of people. However, because American culture has a low tolerance for uncertainty, she wrote: "In such a culture, pseudoscience is particularly attractive because pseudoscience by definition promotes certainty, whereas science gives us probability and doubt. Pseudoscience is popular because it confirms what we believe; science is unpopular because it makes us question what we believe. Good science, like good art, often upsets our established ways of seeing the world" (p. xvi). She then asserted: "Pseudoscientific therapies will always remain with us because so many economic and cultural interests are promoting them. But their potential for harm to individuals and society is growing, which is why it is more important than ever for psychological scientists to explore their pretenses and dangers. As Richard McNally is fond of saying, the best way to combat pseudoscience is to do good science" (p. xvii).A Brief Review of Science and Pseudoscience in Clinical Psychology (Second Edition) (Lilienfeld, Lynn, & Lohr, 2015)In
本文将简要回顾一本重要的书的第二版,临床心理学中的科学和伪科学(第二版),由Lilienfeld, Lynn和Lohr(2015)编辑,David Barlow认为这是每个临床心理学学生的必读书籍,我想补充的是,对于每个从事心理健康专业临床实践的人来说。因此,我扩大了这本书的重要性和影响,使其适用于所有的临床实践,而不仅仅是临床心理学。基督教对科学和伪科学在临床实践的观点也将提供。在本书的前言中,Carol Tavris (pp. ix-xx)回顾了第一版出版十年后的科学家-实践者差距(Lilienfeld, Lynn, & Lohr, 2003)。她列举了以下例子,这些例子是许多心理治疗师或咨询师所断言的,已被公众广泛接受,尽管这些信念已被经验证据驱散或无效:“几乎所有受虐待的孩子都会成为虐待父母。几乎所有酗酒者的孩子都会成为酒鬼。孩子们从不在性侵犯的问题上撒谎。童年创伤总是会产生持续到成年的情绪症状。记忆就像一台录音机,从出生的那一刻开始滴答作响。催眠可以可靠地揭开埋藏的记忆。创伤经历通常被压抑。催眠可以可靠地揭示准确的记忆。潜意识信息影响行为。手淫或“扮演医生”的孩子很可能受到过性骚扰。如果不表达,愤怒就会像茶壶里的蒸汽一样积聚,直到爆发成语言或身体攻击。像罗夏墨迹这样的投射性测试可以有效地诊断人格障碍、大多数形式的精神病理学和性虐待”(第12 - 13页)。塔夫里斯强调,这种被广泛持有但错误的信念可能已经对人们的生活产生了严重的负面或毁灭性的影响。然而,由于美国文化对不确定性的容忍度很低,她写道:“在这样的文化中,伪科学特别有吸引力,因为伪科学的定义是促进确定性,而科学给我们的是概率和怀疑。”伪科学之所以流行,是因为它证实了我们的信念;科学不受欢迎是因为它让我们质疑我们所相信的。优秀的科学,就像优秀的艺术一样,经常颠覆我们既定的看待世界的方式”(第16页)。她接着断言:“伪科学疗法将永远伴随着我们,因为有太多的经济和文化利益在推动它们。但它们对个人和社会的潜在危害正在增长,这就是为什么心理学家比以往任何时候都更重要的是探索它们的伪装和危险。正如理查德·麦克纳利(Richard McNally)喜欢说的那样,与伪科学作斗争的最好方法是做好的科学”(第xvii页)。《临床心理学中的科学与伪科学简要回顾(第二版)》(Lilienfeld, Lynn, & Lohr, 2015)除了Carol Tavris的前言外,本书还包括导论章(第1章)和结语章(第17章),其他15章分为4个主要部分或类别:第一部分关于评估和诊断中的争议(第2-5章),第二部分关于心理治疗中的总体争议(第6-9章),第三部分关于成人疾病治疗中的争议(第10-12章),第四部分关于儿童和青少年疾病治疗中的争议(第13-16章)。因此,本书共有17章。在引言一章(第1章,第116页)中,Lilienfeld, Lynn和Lohr介绍了他们对临床心理学或临床实践中的科学和伪科学的初步想法,反思和考虑。他们简要介绍了科学与伪科学之间的区别,包括伪科学的以下最常见特征:…

Gender differences in predictors of anticipated divisions of household labor in Christian students 基督教学生预期家庭劳动分工预测因子的性别差异
Pub Date : 2014-04-01 DOI: 10.1037/e645342012-001

Gender performance theory suggests the division of household labor is determined by threats to individuals' gender identity. This study explores gender identity threat among college students' expected division of household labor and whether sanctification of one's anticipated division of household labor moderates the relationship between gender identity threat and expected division of household labor. A sample of 126 participants was recruited from a Christian liberal arts university, 48 men and 78 women ranging in age from 18 to 36. Analyses indicated that gender identity threat led to a greater emphasis on stereotypically feminine tasks. Secondly, sanctification moderated the relationship between gender identity threat and expected division of household labor for men. Men who endorsed higher levels of sanctification of the division of household labor expected to divide household labor in a more traditional manner when their gender identity was threatened than when it was not threatened; the opposite pattern was true of men with low levels of sanctification. Although sanctification of the division of household labor was not a significant moderator for women, sanctification and gender identity threat together were found to significantly influence expected division of household labor, with greater sanctification related to more traditional anticipated division of labor.The factors leading to the division of household labor in marriage has been the subject of research for many years. Historically, the division of household labor has been influenced by factors such as the industrial revolution, which moved economic productivity out of the home and resulted in a split between household labor and economic productivity, with women taking on the larger part of household labor. In recent decades, research has documented the existence of gender divisions in the types of household labor performed (Berk & Berk 1979). Blair and Lichter (1991) divided household tasks into gender stereotypical categories based on data from the 1988 National Survey of Families and Households, which asked 3,190 married and cohabiting couples about their time spent on eight household chores. Women were found to spend more time preparing meals, washing dishes and cleaning up after meals, cleaning house, and washing, ironing, and mending clothes. Men were found to spend more time doing outdoor and household maintenance, and auto maintenance and repair. Men and women were found to spend a similar amount of time grocery shopping, and paying the bills.

性别表现理论认为,家庭劳动分工是由对个体性别认同的威胁决定的。本研究探讨性别认同威胁对大学生预期家务劳动分工的影响,以及预期家务劳动分工的圣化是否会调节性别认同威胁与预期家务劳动分工的关系。从一所基督教文科大学招募了126名参与者,其中48名男性和78名女性,年龄从18岁到36岁不等。分析表明,性别认同威胁导致人们更加重视刻板的女性任务。其次,圣化对性别认同威胁与男性预期家务分工的关系有调节作用。认为家务劳动分工更神圣的男性在其性别认同受到威胁时比在其性别认同没有受到威胁时更倾向于按传统方式分工;相反的情况发生在那些不那么圣洁的人身上。尽管对家务劳动分工的神圣化对女性来说不是一个显著的调节因素,但我们发现,神圣化和性别认同威胁一起显著影响了预期的家务劳动分工,更神圣化与更传统的预期劳动分工相关。导致婚姻中家庭劳动分工的因素一直是研究多年的课题。从历史上看,家务劳动的分工受到工业革命等因素的影响,工业革命将经济生产力从家庭中转移出来,导致家务劳动和经济生产力之间的分裂,妇女承担了大部分家务劳动。近几十年来,研究证明了在家务劳动类型中存在性别划分(Berk & Berk 1979)。布莱尔和利希特(1991)根据1988年全国家庭和家庭调查的数据,将家务划分为性别刻板印象的类别,该调查询问了3190对已婚和同居夫妇在八项家务上花费的时间。研究发现,女性花在做饭、洗碗、饭后打扫卫生、打扫房间、洗衣、熨烫和缝补衣服上的时间更多。研究发现,男性花在户外和家庭保养以及汽车保养和修理上的时间更多。研究发现,男性和女性花在购买食品杂货和支付账单上的时间相当。本研究以基督教大学生为样本,探讨受宗教影响的家务劳动观与当代性别威胁理论在预测预期家务劳动分工时的交集。过去的研究集中在解释基于时间和金钱等外部资源的家庭劳动分工的理论上,结果不一致。然而,最近Brines(1994)和Greenstein(2000)提出了家庭劳动分工的另一种解释:性别绩效理论。性别表现理论认为,家务劳动的分工是由维持男性气质或女性气质的努力决定的。因此,该理论认为,一个人会做家务,以确保他或她作为男人或女人的身份。性别表现过程表明,偏离刻板性别角色的夫妻通过夸大刻板行为来弥补他们的角色偏离。当夫妻偏离了他们固有的性别角色时,他们作为女人/妻子或男人/丈夫的身份就受到了威胁。为了弥补对刻板印象的偏离,他们调整了自己的家庭行为,以更刻板的方式分配家务。这一理论与补偿男子气概理论(Babl 1979)是一致的,该理论指出,当男性的性别角色受到威胁时,他们会防御性地夸大自己的男子气概。…

This study explores gender identity threat among college students' expected division of household labor and whether sanctification of one's anticipated division of household labor moderates the relationship between gender identity threat and expected division of household labor. A sample of 126 participants was recruited from a Christian liberal arts university, 48 men and 78 women ranging in age from 18 to 36. Analyses indicated that gender identity threat led to a greater emphasis on stereotypically feminine tasks. Secondly, sanctification moderated the relationship between gender identity threat and expected division of household labor for men. Men who endorsed higher levels of sanctification of the division of household labor expected to divide household labor in a more traditional manner when their gender identity was threatened than when it was not threatened; the opposite pattern was true of men with low levels of sanctification. Although sanctification of the division of household labor was not a significant moderator for women, sanctification and gender identity threat together were found to significantly influence expected division of household labor, with greater sanctification related to more traditional anticipated division of labor.The factors leading to the division of household labor in marriage has been the subject of research for many years. Historically, the division of household labor has been influenced by factors such as the industrial revolution, which moved economic productivity out of the home and resulted in a split between household labor and economic productivity, with women taking on the larger part of household labor. In recent decades, research has documented the existence of gender divisions in the types of household labor performed (Berk & Berk 1979). Blair and Lichter (1991) divided household tasks into gender stereotypical categories based on data from the 1988 National Survey of Families and Households, which asked 3,190 married and cohabiting couples about their time spent on eight household chores. Women were found to spend more time preparing meals, washing dishes and cleaning up after meals, cleaning house, and washing, ironing, and mending clothes. Men were found to spend more time doing outdoor and household maintenance, and auto maintenance and repair. Men and women were found to spend a similar amount of time grocery shopping, and paying the bills.

A lone gunman entered a Colorado theater and opened fire. Syrians are now engaged in civil war. Faced with daily news stories of death and destruction, it is easy to believe that things are getting worse. Not so, explains Harvard psychologist, Steven Pinker in his new work, The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence has Declined.Pinker combines in-depth historical research with rigorous psychological research to argue the case for a decline in global violence. As Pinker aptly points out, many people look at our age as one of unprecedented violence and terror to be viewed with pessimism. Drawing on historical analysis, psychological research and findings from related sciences such as anthropology, sociology, and economics Pinker argues that the data paint a very different picture. In the first chapter, Pinker takes the reader on a quick journey through the history of the world pointing out that the ancient and medieval worlds were very different than the world we live in today. Numerous prehistoric skeletons bear evidence of very violent deaths. Ancient people destroyed entire tribes. Romans carried out violent executions. Medieval Knights led lies of violence and other Europeans meted out horrendous punishments for acts which might not even be judged worthy of condemnation in today's democracies. Finally, the early 20th century saw two World Wars before the long peace ensued. In light of that history, Pinker argues that perhaps we should reconsider our assumptions about our own world.In the first section of the book, Pinker identifies six historical trends which could have led to declines in violence. The first trend he calls the Pacification Process by which people gave up nomadic hunting and gathering lives for lives of agriculture in cities. Competition and anarchy in the prehistoric world made violence necessary for survival. The development of agriculture called for greater cooperation between individuals and the formation of governments to impose order created a world where violence was not always in one's best interest. Statistical analysis supports the idea that the emergence of states lead to a decline in violence. The second trend, the Civilizing Process, is an idea he developed from the work of Norbert Elias. In the late medieval and early modern periods, etiquette and social norms began to be important in social interactions, economics and technology began to advance, and governments began to become more centralized. This trend was also accompanied by a decline in violence. The third trend is the Humanitarian Revolution during which people began to increasingly find practices, such as torture, capital punishment, war and slavery, morally questionable.

人性中善良的一面:为什么暴力减少了。Steven Pinker,企鹅出版社,纽约,2011。ISBN 978-0-670-02295-3。今天早上锡克教寺庙发生枪击事件。一名持枪男子进入科罗拉多州一家剧院并开火。叙利亚人现在正陷入内战。面对每天关于死亡和毁灭的新闻报道,人们很容易相信事情正在变得更糟。并非如此,哈佛大学心理学家史蒂文·平克在他的新作《人性中的善良天使:为什么暴力在减少》中解释道。Pinker将深入的历史研究与严谨的心理学研究结合起来,论证了全球暴力减少的原因。正如平克恰当地指出的那样,许多人悲观地看待我们这个时代,认为它是一个前所未有的暴力和恐怖的时代。根据历史分析、心理学研究以及人类学、社会学和经济学等相关科学的发现,平克认为,这些数据描绘了一幅截然不同的图景。在第一章中,平克带领读者快速浏览世界历史,指出古代和中世纪的世界与我们今天生活的世界有很大的不同。许多史前骸骨都有暴力致死的证据。古代人摧毁了整个部落。罗马人实行暴力处决。中世纪的骑士领导了暴力的谎言,其他欧洲人对那些在今天的民主国家甚至可能被认为不值得谴责的行为施加了可怕的惩罚。最后,20世纪初经历了两次世界大战,之后才迎来了漫长的和平。鉴于这段历史,平克认为,也许我们应该重新考虑我们对自己世界的假设。在书的第一部分,平克指出了可能导致暴力减少的六个历史趋势。第一个趋势他称之为“和平进程”,人们放弃游牧狩猎和采集生活,转而在城市从事农业生活。史前世界的竞争和无政府状态使得暴力成为生存的必要手段。农业的发展需要人与人之间更大的合作,政府的形成需要加强秩序,这创造了一个暴力并不总是符合个人最佳利益的世界。统计分析支持这样一种观点,即国家的出现导致暴力的减少。第二种趋势,文明进程,是他从诺伯特·埃利亚斯的著作中发展出来的观点。在中世纪晚期和现代早期,礼仪和社会规范开始在社会交往中发挥重要作用,经济和技术开始进步,政府开始变得更加集中。这一趋势还伴随着暴力事件的减少。第三个趋势是人道主义革命,在此期间,人们开始越来越多地发现酷刑、死刑、战争和奴隶制等行为在道德上存在问题。同理心、同情心和和平成为了重要的特征。第四个趋势是长期和平,它源于人们认识到,自第二次世界大战以来,没有两个主要的世界大国发生过战争,而且,尽管有相反的预测,从未使用过核武器。...

Perceived forgiveness from god and self-forgiveness 感知到来自上帝的宽恕和自我宽恕
Pub Date : 2012-03-22 DOI: 10.1037/e702292007-001
J. McConnell, D. Dixon
The study tested Hall and Fincham's (2005) hypothesis that perceived forgiveness from God increases the likelihood of self-forgiveness. We found a more personalized measure of God's forgiveness positively correlated with self-forgiveness, although a more general measure of God's forgiveness did not. In addition, we discuss therapeutic interventions relevant to perceived forgiveness and self-forgiveness. Perceived Forgiveness from God and Self-Forgiveness Self-forgiveness is an adaptive process by which people replace guilt, shame, and self-punishment with self-benevolent beliefs, feelings, and actions (Enright, 1996; Exline, Root, YadavalIi, Martin, & Fisher, 2011; Fisher & Exline, 2006, 2010; Hall & Fincham, 2005, 2008; Wohl, DeShea, & Wahkinney, 2008). People move through the self-forgiveness process by spiritual, intrapsychic, and interpersonal means that require time and effort (Fisher & Exline, 2006, 2010; Hall & Fincham, 2005, 2008). Hall and Fincham (2005) proposed that guilt, shame, empathy, conciliatory behavior, attributions, offense severity, and perceived forgiveness all pky important roles in the process of self-forgiveness. Indeed, the extant literature suggests feeling forgiven from God facilitates self-forgiveness (HaU & Fincham, 2005, 2008). Although Christians believe God is forgiving, some may paradoxically believe God does not forgive them personally. Consequently, people may simultaneously hold general and personalized views of God. A general God concept is akin to a theological definition of God, whereas a personalized God image is experiential (Lawrence, 1997; Rizzuto, 1979). Along this line of reasoning, we hypothesized that viewing God as forgiving in personal matters would rekte to self-forgiveness, but general views on God's forgiving nature would not. The current study tested Hall and Fincham's (2005) hypothesis that perceived forgiveness from God increases the likelihood of self-forgiveness. In order to test this hypothesis, we assessed participants' general and personal views of a forgiving or punitive God as a correlate with participants' degree of self-forgiveness. Proposed Antecedent Variables of Self -Forgiveness Guilt and Shame. People who commit transgressions may experience guilt and shame through tension, remorse, or regret (Tangney, 1995). Transgressors are most likely to experience guilt as a state (e.g., situational) and shame as a trait (e.g., character flaw). Compared to shame, Hall and Fincham (2005) theorized that guilt might not have as much of a negative correlation with s elf- forgiveness because it is "other-oriented." Shame seems to be a stronger negative correlate with self-forgiveness because it is naturally more "self-centered" (Hall & Fincham, 2005; Lewis, 1971; Tangney, 1995). Hall and Fincham (2005) theorized that the "otheroriented" focus of guilt is more likely than shame to lead to conciliatory behavior. Conciliatory behavior includes apologies, reparations, gifts, or acts of service aime
该研究验证了Hall和Fincham(2005)的假设,即感知到来自上帝的宽恕会增加自我宽恕的可能性。我们发现,对上帝宽恕的更个性化的衡量标准与自我宽恕呈正相关,尽管对上帝宽恕的更普遍的衡量标准没有。此外,我们还讨论了与感知宽恕和自我宽恕相关的治疗干预措施。自我宽恕是一个适应性过程,人们通过自我仁慈的信念、感觉和行为取代内疚、羞耻和自我惩罚(Enright, 1996;Exline, Root, YadavalIi, Martin, & Fisher, 2011;Fisher & Exline, 2006,2010;Hall & Fincham, 2005, 2008;Wohl, DeShea, & Wahkinney, 2008)。人们通过精神上的、心理上的和人际关系上的方式来经历自我宽恕的过程,这需要时间和努力(Fisher & Exline, 2006, 2010;Hall & Fincham, 2005,2008)。Hall和Fincham(2005)提出内疚、羞耻、共情、和解行为、归因、冒犯严重程度和感知宽恕在自我宽恕过程中都起着重要作用。事实上,现有的文献表明,感觉被上帝宽恕有助于自我宽恕(HaU & Fincham, 2005,2008)。虽然基督徒相信上帝是宽恕的,但有些人可能矛盾地认为上帝不会宽恕他们个人。因此,人们可能同时对上帝持有普遍的和个性化的看法。一般的上帝概念类似于上帝的神学定义,而个性化的上帝形象是经验的(劳伦斯,1997;睡梦中,1979)。沿着这条推理路线,我们假设认为上帝在个人事务上是宽容的,会导致自我宽恕,但对上帝宽容本性的一般看法不会。目前的研究验证了Hall和Fincham(2005)的假设,即感知到来自上帝的宽恕会增加自我宽恕的可能性。为了验证这一假设,我们评估了参与者对宽恕或惩罚上帝的总体和个人观点与参与者自我宽恕程度的相关性。自我宽恕、内疚和羞耻的前因变量。犯过错的人可能会因紧张、悔恨或后悔而感到内疚和羞耻(Tangney, 1995)。犯罪者最有可能将内疚作为一种状态(例如,情境)和羞耻作为一种特征(例如,性格缺陷)来体验。与羞耻感相比,Hall和Fincham(2005)认为内疚可能与自我宽恕没有那么大的负相关,因为它是“他人导向的”。羞耻似乎与自我宽恕有更强的负相关,因为它自然地更“以自我为中心”(Hall & Fincham, 2005;刘易斯,1971;明白,1995)。Hall和Fincham(2005)认为内疚的“他者导向”焦点比羞耻感更有可能导致和解行为。和解行为包括道歉、赔偿、礼物或旨在减少内疚和/或羞耻的服务行为。另一方面,羞耻感的自我关注更有可能导致破坏性的批评,尤其是当违法者将他们的过错贴上性格缺陷的标签时。此外,羞耻感可能会引起与犯罪有关的回避反应(Tangney, 1995),可能会抑制自我宽恕。这种羞耻所固有的破坏性回避反应可能会影响犯罪者与上帝的关系互动。例如,违法者可能会因为害怕受到惩罚而避开上帝。因此,经历内疚而不是羞耻的犯罪者更有可能与上帝进行健康的修复性互动。相反,经历羞耻的犯罪者更有可能引发不适应的互动,比如避免自我宽恕和与上帝和解。负罪感和羞耻感的完全不同的行为相关性与Hall和Fincham(2008)的结果一致,他们发现负罪感而不是羞耻感与自我宽恕的关系超越了时间的流逝。…

Hall and Fincham (2005) proposed that guilt, shame, empathy, conciliatory behavior, attributions, offense severity, and perceived forgiveness all pky important roles in the process of self-forgiveness. Indeed, the extant literature suggests feeling forgiven from God facilitates self-forgiveness (HaU & Fincham, 2005, 2008). Although Christians believe God is forgiving, some may paradoxically believe God does not forgive them personally. Consequently, people may simultaneously hold general and personalized views of God. A general God concept is akin to a theological definition of God, whereas a personalized God image is experiential (Lawrence, 1997; Rizzuto, 1979). Along this line of reasoning, we hypothesized that viewing God as forgiving in personal matters would rekte to self-forgiveness, but general views on God's forgiving nature would not. The current study tested Hall and Fincham's (2005) hypothesis that perceived forgiveness from God increases the likelihood of self-forgiveness. In order to test this hypothesis, we assessed participants' general and personal views of a forgiving or punitive God as a correlate with participants' degree of self-forgiveness. Proposed Antecedent Variables of Self -Forgiveness Guilt and Shame. People who commit transgressions may experience guilt and shame through tension, remorse, or regret (Tangney, 1995). Transgressors are most likely to experience guilt as a state (e.g., situational) and shame as a trait (e.g., character flaw). Compared to shame, Hall and Fincham (2005) theorized that guilt might not have as much of a negative correlation with s elf- forgiveness because it is \"other-oriented.\" Shame seems to be a stronger negative correlate with self-forgiveness because it is naturally more \"self-centered\" (Hall & Fincham, 2005; Lewis, 1971; Tangney, 1995). Hall and Fincham (2005) theorized that the \"otheroriented\" focus of guilt is more likely than shame to lead to conciliatory behavior. Conciliatory behavior includes apologies, reparations, gifts, or acts of service aime","PeriodicalId":16908,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychology and Christianity","volume":"10 1","pages":"31-40"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72936866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
