Science and religion are influential social forces, and their interplay has been subject to many public and scholarly debates. The present article addresses how people mentally conceptualize the relationship between science and religion and how these conceptualizations can be systematized. To that end, we provide a comprehensive, integrative review of the pertinent literature. Moreover, we discuss how cognitive (in particular, epistemic beliefs) and motivational factors (in particular, epistemic needs, identity, and moral beliefs), as well as personality and contextual factors (e.g., rearing practices and cross-cultural exposure), are related to these mental conceptualizations. And finally, we provide a flowchart detailing the psychological processes leading to these mental conceptualizations. A comprehensive understanding of how individuals perceive the science-religion relationship is interesting in and of itself and practically relevant for managing societal challenges, such as science denial.

是宿敌还是亲密盟友？个人如何在心理上联系科学和宗教。


科学和宗教是有影响力的社会力量，它们的相互作用引起了许多公众和学术辩论。本文讨论了人们如何在心理上概念化科学与宗教之间的关系，以及如何将这些概念化系统化。为此，我们对相关文献进行了全面、综合的回顾。此外，我们还讨论了认知（特别是认知信念）和动机因素（特别是认知需求、身份和道德信念）以及个性和情境因素（例如，教养方式和跨文化接触）是如何被影响的。与这些心理概念有关。最后，我们提供了一个流程图，详细说明了导致这些心理概念化的心理过程。全面了解个人如何看待科学与宗教的关系本身就很有趣，并且对于管理社会挑战（例如否认科学）具有实际意义。 （PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
