当代中国社会的宗教信仰和人际信任

许多研究均认为中国社会中的人际信任是一种差序格局的模式。本文将人际信任具体区分为亲缘信任、熟人信任和外人信任,指出信任水平从亲缘、熟人到外人依次降低,并且宗教信仰对不同的人际信任类型具有显著的影响作用。对2007年居民文化生活调查数据的分析表明,无论哪一种宗教信仰归属都不会显著增强亲缘信任和熟人信任的水平,比如佛教徒、道教徒的亲缘信任、熟人信任水平显著低于无信仰者;但是宗教信仰可以显著增强普遍的外人信任,比如佛、道教和基督宗教都能显著提高外人信任;宗教信仰的重要性和宗教活动参与频率也能够提高信任水平。另外,基督宗教比佛、道教具有更高的教内信任程度。     

Clarifying the Role of Psychological Pain in the Risks of Suicidal Ideation and Suicidal Acts among Patients with Major Depressive Episodes

The role of psychological pain in the risk of suicide was explored using a three‐dimensional psychological pain model (pain arousal, painful feelings, pain avoidance). The sample consisted of 111 outpatients with major depressive episodes, including 28 individuals with suicidal histories. They completed the Chinese version of the Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation (BSI), the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), the Psychache Scale, and the three‐dimensional Psychological Pain Scale (TDPPS). A structured clinical interview was conducted to assess the history of suicidal acts. Significant correlations were found among BDI, BSI, and TDPPS scores (p < .01). Stepwise regression analyses showed that only pain avoidance scores significantly predicted suicide ideation at one's worst point (β = .79, p < .001) and suicidal acts (β = .46, p < .001). Pain avoidance was also a better predictor of current suicidal ideation (β = .37, p = .001) than were BDI scores (β = .31, p < .01). Increased levels of pain avoidance during a major depressive episode may be a dominant component of the motivation for suicide. Future clinical assessments for populations at high risk of suicide should include measures of psychological pain to reduce the incidence of suicide.
