人类在他们的生活中寻求有意义。科学和宗教的世界观,如,帮助结构的世界并提供意义。意味着维护模型(2006年•海涅,& Vohs)和恐惧管理理论,建议的重要性意义(格林伯格,Pyszczynski &所罗门,1986)。威胁一个人的意义创造存在的焦虑,导致一个拒绝竞争世界观(格林伯格et al ., 1990)。世界观通过提供秩序和安全管理存在的焦虑(Rosenblatt et al ., 1989)。存在的焦虑和需要验证我们的意义可能导致科学和宗教之间的竞争worldviews-particularly之间的紧张关系。数据收集的样本197名社区成员,希望大学生的总和。世界杯荷兰vs厄瓜多尔走地世界杯英格兰队vs丹麦队足彩参与者被随机分配到三个条件之一:肯定意义,意义的挑战,或控制。参与者完成了调查问卷关于他们的观点对宗教、科学和人生的意义。接下来,参与者阅读一篇捏造,据说哈佛学者写的。 Depending on condition, the essay addressed life’s importance (affirmation), life’s meaninglessness (challenge), or computers (control). Participants then completed measures of biased thinking. Next, participants read a mixed-evidence essay on evolution, rated the essay, and completed questionnaires regarding their attitude toward evolution. Participants also completed measures regarding their attitudes toward science, religion, and evolution again. Participants were then debriefed. Our hypotheses were supported and the results revealed that threats to meaning enhance biases. We also found that participants who hold religious beliefs centered on God’s protection and promises of specialness perceived the mixed-evidence essay to be significantly more critical of evolution when their meaning was threatened. This supports our hypothesis that meaning threats elicit worldview-consistent information processing, resulting in more negative attitudes towards evolution. This study shows that when our life’s meaning is challenged, we rely so much on our own worldviews that we dismiss divergent worldviews.
