In today’s Pope Center Clarion Call, psychologist Deborah Tyler writes about some recent research done at UNC, where students were told to imagine and then write about incest with a family member, and also to imagine and write about the family member being involved in a serious car accident. The purpose of the experiment was to see if, as the researchers supposed, religiously minded students were more inclined to exhibit “thought-action fusion” than non-religious students. Dr. Tyler explains her reasons for strongly disapproving of this project.
