ABSTRACT The present study aimed to explore the link between intercultural sensitivity, the four dimensions of cyberbullying, i.e. aggression, victimisation, cyber-defending, and passive bystander behaviour), and religious education as a formal study discipline in schools. Our sample consisted of 241 high school students (M = 18.54, SD = .49, 61% males). Our results suggested significant negative associations between intercultural sensitivity and cyber-perpetration, cyber-victimisation, and cyber-bystander behaviour. No significant gender differences were found concerning intercultural sensitivity. Our findings also suggested that the participants who studied religion as a formal discipline in high school reported higher intercultural sensitivity. Furthermore, we also found a significant interaction effect between intercultural sensitivity and religion as a formal school discipline, in the case of cyber-aggression and cyber-victimisation dimensions of cyberbullying. Finally, we discuss our findings considering their practical implication, primarily in educational settings.

ABSTRACT This article argues that a combined lens of affect theory and the aesthetics of religion provides scholarship with new methodological and theoretical insights for phenomenological religious education. These insights demonstrate the analytic value of understanding religion in terms of its affective and aesthetic dimensions, which offer renewed explanatory power for the variety of religious experiences individuals and communities undergo. In particular, these insights allow educators and students to explore what drives religious practices in everyday life without resorting to essentialist, reductionist or universalist accounts. It is suggested that reframing phenomenological approaches in religious education has the potential to make a vital contribution to developing new sensibilities of the ‘secular’ and the ‘religious’, especially in contemporary multi-religious societies. Finally, it is argued that the innovations offered by reframed phenomenological approaches provide a promising theoretical and methodological platform in religious education for engaging with the affective and aesthetic dimensions of religion.

ABSTRACT The purpose of the present study was to examine the mediating role of self-compassion in the relationship between guilt–/shame-proneness and self-forgiveness. The study is based on the Hall and Fincham’s self-forgiveness model which indicated guilt and shame proneness as emotional predictors of self-forgiveness. The sample consisted of 300 participants. They completed online self-report questionnaires related to shame and guilt-proneness (TOSCA-3), self-compassion (Self-Compassion Scale) and self-forgiveness (State Self-Forgiveness Scale). The multiple mediation models were developed to assess the extent to which selfcompassion mediates the relationship between shame- and guilt –proneness and selfforgiveness. The results showed that self-compassion mediated the link between shame-proneness and self-forgiveness (Total indirect effect B=-.24 CI95% [-.331 - .164]), shame-proneness and self-forgiving feeling and action (Total indirect effect B=- .15 CI95% [-.195 -.101], and shame-proneness and self-forgiving beliefs(Total indirect effect B=-.10 CI95% [-.149 -.051]). Shame activated during a transgression leads to less understanding, forbearance and compassion toward oneself. This attitude inhibits self-forgiveness.

ABSTRACT Spirituality is associated with a variety of positive life outcomes, and the university experience has long been regarded as a critical period of spiritual identity development. A key explanation for why gender differences exist in the importance of integrating spirituality in one’s life may be that civic engagement is intervening in the relationship. We administered surveys to 964 first-year undergraduate students in the western United States. Women had higher scores for civic engagement and the importance of integrating spirituality into their lives than men. Civic engagement mediated the influence of gender on the importance of integrating spirituality into one’s life. Implications are discussed. Plain Language Summary Spirituality has been found to make people’s lives better. Researchers are interested in finding out what kinds of things make people think spirituality is important in their lives. We found that a reason why women are more likely to consider spirituality as important is because they are more involved in their communities.

ABSTRACT The pandemic may manifest itself in the spiritual-existential sphere by activating various forms of religious-spiritual struggles. The purpose of the study was to assess the relationship between religious struggles and mental health in the Polish population during COVID-19. We assumed that the ability to bounce back could minimise the negative impact of religious struggles on mental health therefore we tested the mediating role of resilience as an ‘ability to bounce back’ in the relationship between these religious struggles and mental health. We also tested the mediating role of resilience as an ‘ability to bounce back’ in the relationship between religious struggles and mental health. The study involved 688 individuals (74% female) aged 20–68 years. The procedure involved filling out questionnaires to measure resilience, negative religious coping, religious struggles, mental health (depression and mental well-being). The results demonstrated significant relationships between resilience and both mental health indicators. As expected, resilience was a significant mediator of the decreasing effect of religious struggle and negative religious coping on depression and well-being. Resilience as a capacity is valuable for psychosocial functioning of individuals. Strong psychological resources can help protect mental health from religious struggles and negative religious coping.

As a classroom teacher of RE, I am glad to be asked to join this interesting conversation. Mark Chater’s main question, the matter of who decides what goes in the curriculum, is a crucial educational one which should be asked repeatedly. On this we must be curious, not just vigilant. As subject teachers the content of the curriculum is our staple, and to borrow the analogy from Mary Myatt, it is like the food in a meal. However stylish the restaurant décor is and how attentive the staff, the meal will not be enjoyable one if the food is ‘stale’ and unappetising (Myatt 2018, 24).

ABSTRACT Based on an ethnographic study conducted with in-depth interviews, this study shows how the children of interfaith couples whose members were socialised in the Catholic and/or Muslim faiths, respectively, internalise the religious and/or cultural values that their parents transmit to them. We furthermore point out that the negotiation processes of both transmission by the couple and inheritance by the descendants are often conditioned by social and contextual factors, including the gradual process of religious secularisation. We shall analyse the consequences that this factor, increasingly common in Barcelona, has on these interfaith negotiation, transmission and inheritance processes.

ABSTRACT This article is a response to Mark Chater’s argument that sectional interests are hampering reform in Religious Education in England and that radical structural reform is needed to correct this. The valid insights of Chater’s article are identified, but a significant correction is made by arguing that the reform of mindset, not structures, is what is actually required. The mindset issues identified are, first, a sense of entitlement to control that the structures have nurtured in religious communities and, secondly, a sense of hostility to religious communities that has in turn resulted amongst RE professionals. The article concludes with a reflection on the characteristics of an alternative mindset.

It has been said of the Religious Education (RE) community that if you place two practitioners into a room, they will emerge with three viewpoints. Yet even if that were true, I am grateful for the opportunity to read and reflect on Professor Cooling’s and Dr Felderhof’s responses. There is substantial agreement between myself and Prof Cooling concerning structures. He concurs with my critique as ‘important’ and ‘legit-imate’, and my shining a spotlight on sectional interests as ‘helpful’. There is less agreement between myself and Dr Felderhof overall. Firstly, I draw out three critical points that Cooling has made and offer a brief response to each.
