In the other words, with such an understanding, they may determine the factors that influence the public preparedness beha...

IJERPH, Vol. 18, Pages 2137: Foreign Medical Students in Eastern Europe: Knowledge, Attitudes and Beliefs about Medical Cannabis for Pain Management
Conclusions: This study is the first to examine the attitudes, knowledge, and beliefs toward medical cannabis among foreign students from India and Middle Eastern countries studying in Russia and Belarus, two countries who oppose its recreational and medicine use. Indian and Middle Eastern students, as a group, tend to be more supportive of MC than their Russian and Belarusian counterparts. These results may be linked to cultural and historical reasons. This study provides useful information for possible medical and allied health curriculum and education purposes.

Miraculous, magical, or mundane? The development of beliefs about stories with divine, magical, or realistic causation
Mem Cognit. 2022 Feb 22. doi: 10.3758/s13421-021-01270-2. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChildren's naïve theories about causal regularities enable them to differentiate factual narratives describing real events and characters from fictional narratives describing made-up events and characters (Corriveau, Kim, Schwalen, & Harris, Cognition 113 (2): 213-225, 2009). But what happens when children are consistently presented with accounts of miraculous and causally impossible events as real occurrences? Previous research has shown that preschoolers with consistent exposure to religious teaching tend to systematically judge ...

Body-, eating-, and exercise-related social comparison behavior and disordered eating in college women in the U.S. and Iran: A cross-cultural comparison.

Coexisting religious and scientific beliefs among Iranian parents.
We examined whether this conflict is also assumed in a culture with a different religious tradition. We questioned parents in Iran, a Muslim majority society governed by an Islamic theocracy, about the relationship between science and religion. Iranian parents endorsed the importance of science at high levels regardless of their level of religiosity. This finding adds to the growing body of evidence challenging the assumption that science and religion are perceived as conflicting with each other. The results imply caution in generalizing from U.S. participants and point to the need for further research on non-Western tradi...
