Thinking about your faith in God may make you less upset about making mistakes, according to a new study published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science.
“Eighty-five percent of the world has some sort of religious beliefs,” said Michael Inzlicht, who co-wrote the study with Alexa Tullett, in a University of Toronto statement.
“I think it behooves us as psychologists to study why people have these beliefs; exploring what functions, if any, they may serve.”
