Abstract:

Research suggests that stimuli that prime social concepts can fundamentally alter people’s behavior. However, most researchers who conduct priming studies fail to explicitly report double-blind procedures. Because experimenter expectations may influence participant behavior, we asked whether a short pre-experiment interaction between participants and experimenters would contribute to priming effects when experimenters were not blind to participant condition. An initial double-blind experiment failed to demonstrate the expected effects of a social prime on executive cognition. To determine whet

Abstract:

This study explores the effects of writing beliefs on a writer’s output. For this purpose, examining older patterns of writing beliefs and techniques was necessary. This helps search for positive improvements in writing beliefs through autobiographical text-writing activities of Internet writing cafes. Following are the results of this study. First, the average writing belief starts to decline around the middle age of an entire life cycle. Second, unlike students, variable measures are required to measure the distribution patterns of transmission and transactional writing beliefs of adul

Abstract:

In April 2015, the Freddie Gray protests/riots/uprisings in Baltimore, Maryland, sparked a conversation on the national scene and in classrooms across the country. In my classroom near Baltimore, these events became a test case on how to teach and be in a moment of crisis. Building on a bricolage of methodologies, I explore teaching Bonilla-Silva's (2014) work on color-blind racism in my “Sport and Media” class during the Freddy Gray riots/protests/uprisings.

Abstract:

Humans update their beliefs upon feedback and, accordingly, modify their behaviors to adapt to the complex, changing social environment. However, people tend to incorporate desirable (better than expected) feedback into their beliefs but to discount undesirable (worse than expected) feedback. Such optimistic updating has evolved as an advantageous mechanism for social adaptation. Here, we examine the role of oxytocin (OT)―an evolutionary ancient neuropeptide pivotal for social adaptation―in belief updating upon desirable and undesirable feedback in three studies (n = 320).

This paper examines the relationship between blindness and belief in divine intervention among visually impaired individuals. Drawing on mythological, folkloric, and biblical contexts, it explores how sensory experiences, apart from sight, influence their faith narratives. Through social anthropological methods and extensive fieldwork, the study addresses key questions about the spontaneous emergence of religious themes, the transformation of these beliefs in the works of blind authors, and their role in coping with daily challenges.

Abstract John Shook’s article “Are People Born to be Believers, or are Gods Born to be Believed?” (this volume) critiques research findings and writings by Justin Barrett suggesting that god beliefs may be innate among human beings. In response to points raised by Shook, we first discuss several complications that need to be balanced when defining and assessing the innateness hypothesis. Second, we address the question of how both god believers and nonbelievers might have both favorable and unfavorable responses to claims of god beliefs being innate.

Abstract This short tribute to Ján Podolák comments on the space between two extremes: pure science and blind belief. If religion is not susceptible to scientific proof because it is a belief in an invisible world inhabited by spirits who influence human existence on earth then science in its strictest sense is the opposite of religion because it is not based on any beliefs but solely on provable facts. However, the anthropology of science should be based on the pluralism of knowledge and the seeking of truth in different cultural settings around the world. Everything human, also science, is a

However, one must embrace and experience life despite its inherent absurdity, finding joy and satisfaction in action amidst the futility of existence. This belief system advocates

There is a common belief that blind people compensate their lack of vision using the other senses.

The influence indeed appears to be mainly stylistic.

Abstract:

The purpose of this article is to examine knowledge and visual disability in the light of Plato’s doctrine of forms. Using speculative philosophy, the study questions the assumption that sighted individuals possess superior knowledge and explores what distinguishes partial from comprehensive understanding. Using John Godfrey Saxe's poetic version of the Indian parable of six blind men touching an elephant as a prelude, the paper examines the epistemological implications of partial perception and the belief that sensory experience connects to comprehensive understanding. The analysis reveals th

Abstract:

Many developers wish to capitalize on touch-screen technology for developing aids for the blind, particularly by incorporating vibrotactile stimulation to convey patterns on their surfaces, which otherwise are featureless. Our belief is that they will need to take into account basic research on haptic perception in designing these graphics interfaces. We point out constraints and limitations in haptic processing that affect the use of these devices. We also suggest ways to use sound to augment basic information from touch, and we include evaluation data from users of a touch-screen device with

Abstract:

Abstract Background Metacognitive training (MCT) was developed to increase awareness of cognitive biases (Moritz & Woodward, 2007). Each of the 8 MCT modules targets a specific reasoning bias, such as bias against disconfirmatory evidence, jumping to conclusions, and attributional biases. MCT has been shown to be effective in improving delusions. However, it remains unclear to what extent specific MCT modules are effective in ameliorating the reasoning biases that they target, and whether they may also be effective for other disorders characterized by similar cognitive biases.

Abstract:

This article discusses the factors precipitating witchcraft belief practises and imputations in South Africa and Zimbabwe in the 21st century. Efforts to ignore the epistemologies of this phenomenon and paint it as primitive have been the foundation of some writings by some authors, thus leaving the believers of witchcraft unsatisfied and hence turning a blind eye on life’s pertinent challenges. To collect data, a case study analysis, semi-structured interviews, and desk-based research were conducted.

Abstract:

No more striking evidence can be adduced of the intellectual advancement characteristic of modern times, than the general recognition among men of the universal reign of law. It is true that this general recognition has not yet become quite universal. There are not wanting many, even in our enlightened age, to whom the advent of a comet still brings feelings of dismay, and in whose belief the wind literally bloweth where it listeth, every day. The belief in lucky and unlucky days has by no means disappeared, and among even the well educated there are yet some who would not willingly put to sea

This article will plot and examine the spiritual progression of protagonist Sebastiao Rodrigues from “blind faith” to a fuller awareness of his spiritual self. Endo’s narratives will be seen to eschew allegorical readings in favor of presenting the importance of the spiritual journey for the individual. In the face of extreme violence, Rodrigues will be seen to develop from a position of aspiration toward honorable martyrdom to one of disillusion and disconnection from institutions that obfuscate the clarity of his personal relationship with Christ. The conclusion Endo will be seen to arrive a

Abstract:

The necessity for reforms in the Muslim world is vivid and indubitable to many Muslim and non-Muslim scholars and has been addressed countless times. Reasons for reforms are just as apparent in contemporary times as a century ago or even earlier. Muslims have often been prevented from or have failed in and resisted reforms due to occupational-colonial, general socio-political, economic, traditional or taqlīd (blind belief/following) circumstances. Distinct responses and solutions to such states of Muslim and general human affairs have been the concern of Tariq Ramadan. His idea of reform revea

Abstract:

For a long time, the term “taqlid” has carried a negative connotation, especially when accompanied by the word “blind”. However, in the religious thought tradition of Shia Islam, the term "taqlid" holds a neutral meaning and, in fact, becomes a necessity for its followers. This is a logical consequence of the belief in imamah or leadership, which is one of the fundamental teachings of Shia Islam. Following the opinions of a marja taklid (highest religious authority) is considered obligatory and binding. A Shia adherent who does not obey the religious rulings issued by a mujtahid (jurisconsult)

Abstract:

Today, the Rainbow Nation as the central metaphor for postapartheid South Africa falls short of serving as a unifying identification marker due to its tendency to gloss over contrasting living realities of diversified identities and ongoing systemic discrimination. The South African Fallism movements – the student-driven protests against neocolonial structures in academic institutions – spearheaded public criticism with the current state of ongoing social disparity in South Africa and revived the critique of so-called rainbowism, i.e., the belief that a colour-blind society can be created.
