ABSTRACT Some scholars claim that identifying with religious groups leads to a greater inclination toward violence than identifying with secular groups and we test this proposition in a unique experimental threat paradigm. We examine the possibility that threats toward individuals’ religious identities will result in greater aggression relative to threats toward individuals’ national identity. Additionally, we extend research on the direct association between religious fundamentalism and aggression by examining whether fundamentalism interacts with the experience of a threatened religious identity to exacerbate aggression. Among 120 self-identified religious Canadians, we examined aggression as a response to threats toward participants’ religious or national identity. Participants engaged in a live instant messaging conversation with a confederate, in which the confederate denigrated participants’ religious identity in the religious identity threat condition, denigrated participants’ Canadian national identity in the national identity threat condition, or did not denigrate either identity in the control condition. Following, participants’ self-reported aggression was measured. Participants in the national identity threat condition reported higher levels of aggression relative to those in the religious identity threat condition or the control condition. Additionally, the effect of religious fundamentalism on aggression was moderated by threat such that the positive association between religious fundamentalism and aggression was eliminated when national identity was threatened.

在实时即时消息传递范式中,针对威胁个人宗教与国家身份的攻击性反应

摘要 一些学者声称,与认同世俗团体相比,认同宗教团体会导致更大的暴力倾向,我们在独特的实验威胁范式中测试了这一命题。我们研究了对个人宗教身份的威胁相对于对个人民族身份的威胁会导致更大侵略的可能性。此外,我们通过检查原教旨主义是否与受到威胁的宗教身份的体验相互作用以加剧侵略,扩展了对宗教原教旨主义与侵略之间直接关联的研究。在 120 名自称有宗教信仰的加拿大人中,我们将攻击性作为对参与者宗教或民族身份威胁的反应进行了研究。参与者与同盟进行实时即时消息对话,其中,邦联在宗教身份威胁条件下诋毁参与者的宗教身份,在国家身份威胁条件下诋毁参与者的加拿大民族身份,或在控制条件下不诋毁任何一个身份。随后,参与者的自我报告的攻击性被测量。与宗教身份威胁条件或控制条件下的参与者相比,国家身份威胁条件下的参与者报告了更高水平的攻击性。此外,宗教原教旨主义对侵略的影响受到威胁的缓和,因此当民族认同受到威胁时,宗教原教旨主义与侵略之间的正相关就被消除了。在国民身份威胁条件下诋毁参与者的加拿大国民身份,或在控制条件下没有贬低任何一个身份。随后,参与者的自我报告的攻击性被测量。与宗教身份威胁条件或控制条件下的参与者相比,国家身份威胁条件下的参与者报告了更高水平的攻击性。此外,宗教原教旨主义对侵略的影响受到威胁的缓和,因此当民族认同受到威胁时,宗教原教旨主义与侵略之间的正相关就被消除了。在国民身份威胁条件下诋毁参与者的加拿大国民身份,或在控制条件下没有贬低任何一个身份。随后,参与者的自我报告的攻击性被测量。与宗教身份威胁条件或控制条件下的参与者相比,国家身份威胁条件下的参与者报告了更高水平的攻击性。此外,宗教原教旨主义对侵略的影响受到威胁的缓和,因此当民族认同受到威胁时,宗教原教旨主义与侵略之间的正相关就被消除了。与宗教身份威胁条件或控制条件下的参与者相比,国家身份威胁条件下的参与者报告了更高水平的攻击性。此外,宗教原教旨主义对侵略的影响受到威胁的缓和,因此当民族认同受到威胁时,宗教原教旨主义与侵略之间的正相关就被消除了。与宗教身份威胁条件或控制条件下的参与者相比,国家身份威胁条件下的参与者报告了更高水平的攻击性。此外,宗教原教旨主义对侵略的影响受到威胁的缓和,因此当民族认同受到威胁时,宗教原教旨主义与侵略之间的正相关就被消除了。
