“More than 90 percent of people in the world agree that God or a similar spiritual power exists or may exist,” said the study’s lead author, Kristin Laurin, PhD, of the University of Waterloo in Canada. “This is the first empirical evidence that simple reminders of God can diminish some types of self-regulation, such as pursuing one’s goals, yet can improve others, such as resisting temptation.”
Several weeks before this experiment, the students had been asked if they believed outside factors (other people, beings, forces beyond their control) had an influence on their careers. Among participants who said outside factors such as God might influence their career success, those who did the God-related word task performed worse than those who used neutral words.
TONY DIGIROLAMO- WELL THIS IS THE FIRST "EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE":
DEFINITION: Verifiable by observation or experience rather than theory or pure logic
LIKE I SAID PSYCHOLOGY IS AN OBSERVABLE SCIENCE OR AS I CALL IT PSCIENCE.
THE DIAGNOSIS IS A GUESSAGNOSIS... NOTHING LESS NOTHING MORE.
This from the highly respected American Psychological Association.
They too are trying to diminish God and His precepts from the culture. They would have it just as the founders of psychology wanted it. Replace Christianity with psychology.
I hope that some day we'll realize that the destruction of this great country began with these wizards of the mind, Freud, Maslow, Rogers, Adler, Jung et al.
