New paper in Science examines the role that the cultural influence of the 'Western Church' (later Catholicism) had on the development of WEIRD psychology (authors include @JF_Schulz, @DumanBRad, @JoHenrich). https://t.co/blMxsc7pEm

[IACESR @The_IACESR]

The first paper is this recent (popular audience) article on the resilience and persistence of witchcraft beliefs and associated violence/abuse by @mnvrsngh. Well worth a read and links to some fascinating research papers. https://t.co/7VSkFjRIgz

[IACESR @The_IACESR]

Ok, folks to make the account a bit more active and worth the follow I'm going to start posting 'interesting paper of the day related to research on religion'.

Feel free to @ the account with anything you think might be of interest to CSR folk.

A long time in the making, our study on the effects of ritual suffering on psychological wellbeing was published in #CurrentAnthropology

7 years well spent, fascinating paper!

[Jeanet Sinding Bentzen @JeanetBentzen]

Amazing feeling that my "Acts of God?" paper is now out in the @EJ_RES after 7 years of hard work! I find that earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis increase religiosity. People of all religions, incomes, and educational background use religion to cope with uncertainty.
