Features: The purpose of this book is to help students understand different branches of psychological sociology and focus on contemporary research findings on religious topics. Due to the significant differences in professional perspectives among chapters, the questions and hypotheses raised are more prominent than the conclusions. Therefore, this book is more suitable as a specialized textbook. In recent decades, religious phenomena have occupied a considerable position in the spiritual life of our country—especially in western China. However, the scientific development of mainstream academic cross-disciplinary research on religion has lacked attention and popularization. This book provides a broader and more accurate perspective on this often politically or emotionally charged local social psychological phenomenon.
