Psychology and Religion: From the Aspects of Morality November 30
November 17, 2011
MACOMB, IL – The major weakness in current ‘moral education' and related debates and practices, seems to derive from the ambiguity in the definition of ‘morality,' according to Yuki Hasebe (Youkey Hah Seh beh), an associate professor of educational psychology at Western Illinois University.
She will speak about this broad issue from 3-4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 30 in the Leslie F. Malpass Library, Room 180. Her presentation is "Psychology and Religion: From the Aspects of Morality."
Hasebe will present the empirical data and theory that differentiates the notion of ‘morality,' which includes interpersonal justice and fairness, from ‘social virtues,' such as honesty, courtesy and trustworthiness. She will also discuss psychology and religion/spirituality, including the practices of churches, and an additional reference to the ‘fourth dimension' theory by American physicist Lisa Randall.
The forum is sponsored by Western's Center for Innovation in Teaching and Research (CITR).
