Beata Zarzycka Przekonania post-krytyczne a emocje względem Boga. Eksploracyjne badania w próbie polskiej

Abstrakt

In the epilogue of his work, Wulff (1999) presented the concept of postcritical
beliefs as a proposal for the description of religion in the context of continuous
secularization processes and socio-cultural changes. According to Wulff (1999),
we may place potential attitudes toward religion in a two-dimensional space in
which the vertical dimension means Inclusion vs. Exclusion of Transcendence and
the horizontal one-Literal vs. Symbolic Interpretation of religion. The presented
research is an attempt to find out whether emotions toward God are related to the
attitudes toward religion separated by Wulff. The results of our research show that
Orthodoxy and Second Naiveté correlate positively with Positive Emotions and
Sense of Guilt whereas External Critique and Relativism correlate positively with
Anger toward God.
Key words: religiosity, post-critical belief, emotions toward God
