Previous studies on the relationship between religiosity and prejudice have produced inconsistent results and lack a diverse understanding of faith identities. This prompts the need for further exploration of the contexts in which different forms of faith correlate with attitudinal biases both within and between biocultural groups. In this online study, we evaluated two cascade models hypothesizing paths between three forms of faith — mysticism, religiosity, and spirituality — and bias against: (i) women and (ii) Arab immigrants. Additionally, we provide evidence supporting the nomological validity of a novel measure of globalism. 189 volunteer participants were recruited from the population of undergraduate students enrolled in psychology courses at the University of Arizona, and data were collected through a series of online survey measures. We found that both mysticism and religiosity appear to facilitate antagonistic attitudes towards both women and Arab immigrants. Meanwhile, spirituality seems to inhibit antagonistic attitudes towards women, while facilitating antagonistic attitudes towards Arab immigrants. By assessing the structural pathways between these constructs and various group-orientation variables, including collectivism, overt positive ethnocentrism, social dominance orientation, and globalism, this research provides a clearer understanding of how variations among these forms of belief affect group behavior and prejudiced attitudes.

以往关于宗教信仰与偏见之间关系的研究产生了不一致的结果，缺乏对信仰身份的多样化理解。这提示需要进一步探索不同形式的信仰与生物文化群体内部和之间的态度偏见相关的背景。在这项在线研究中，我们评估了两个级联模型，这些模型假设了三种信仰形式（神秘主义、宗教信仰和灵性）之间的路径，以及对（i）女性和（ii）阿拉伯移民的偏见。此外，我们提供了支持新的全球主义衡量标准的法理有效性的证据。从亚利桑那大学就读心理学课程的本科生中招募了 189 名志愿者，并通过一系列在线调查措施收集了数据。我们发现神秘主义和宗教信仰似乎促进了对女性和阿拉伯移民的敌对态度。与此同时，灵性似乎抑制了对女性的敌对态度，同时促进了对阿拉伯移民的敌对态度。通过评估这些构念与各种群体取向变量（包括集体主义、明显的积极种族中心主义、社会支配取向和全球主义）之间的结构路径，这项研究提供了对这些信仰形式之间的差异如何影响群体行为和偏见态度的更清晰的理解。同时促进对阿拉伯移民的敌对态度。通过评估这些构念与各种群体取向变量（包括集体主义、明显的积极种族中心主义、社会支配取向和全球主义）之间的结构路径，这项研究提供了对这些信仰形式之间的差异如何影响群体行为和偏见态度的更清晰的理解。同时促进对阿拉伯移民的敌对态度。通过评估这些构念与各种群体取向变量（包括集体主义、明显的积极种族中心主义、社会支配取向和全球主义）之间的结构路径，这项研究提供了对这些信仰形式之间的差异如何影响群体行为和偏见态度的更清晰的理解。
