Does Religion Make Us Better People? An Empirical Critique of the
Religious Prosociality Hypothesis. Does religion make us happier,
healthier and more helpful? A number of popular psychology books
and articles argue that religion is a positive force for enhancing
the health and well-being of both individuals and whole
communities. A careful examination of the social psychological
literature, however, reveals a complicated relationship between
religion and "pro-social" traits that defies such a simple
characterization. Luke Galen, Professor of Psychology at Grand
Valley State University, recently reviewed dozens of studies on
religion and pro-social traits for the American Psychological
Association's Psychology Bulletin, exposing some of the misleading
ways in which this research is conducted and presented to the
public. For this talk Jeremy Beahan will summarize key details of
the review in a way that is accessible to non-professionals.
