Experimental Methods in the Psychology of Religion
This symposium will present a state-of-the-art overview of novel methods in the psychology of religion (and psychology more broadly) to move beyond classical survey- and lab-based research. We will focus on the use of implicit vs. explicit measures, physiological techniques and field studies to understand the complex phenomenon of religion.
