Rapid development of technologies increases the possibility of technological enhancements of human beings, e.g., in their cognitive skills or physical fitness. Attitudes towards such enhancements may result in their social acceptance or rejection.
One hundred and thirty-nine young Polish adults participated in the study. Participants completed the designed Technological Enhancements Questionnaire (TEQ) and questionnaires to measure values, the scientistic worldview, and the accepted versions of humanism.
The study showed a one-dimensional TEQ structure and its satisfactory reliability. Attitudes towards technological enhancements correlated positively with achievement, self-direction in thought, power over resources, the scientistic worldview, and the evolutionary version of humanism. They also correlated negatively with tradition and the liberal version of humanism.
The TEQ questionnaire is a short, reliable tool to measure attitudes towards technological enhancements. This preliminary study provided some significant results, but future work to validate the questionnaire is needed.
技术的快速发展增加了对人类进行技术增强的可能性,例如在认知技能或身体素质方面。对这种增强的态度可能导致其被社会接受或拒绝。
139名波兰年轻成年人参与了这项研究。参与者完成了设计好的技术增强问卷(TEQ)以及用于测量价值观、科学主义世界观和被认可的人文主义版本的问卷。
研究显示了TEQ的一维结构及其令人满意的信度。对技术增强的态度与成就、思维中的自我导向、对资源的掌控力、科学主义世界观以及人文主义的进化版本呈正相关。它们也与传统和人文主义的自由主义版本呈负相关。
TEQ问卷是一种简短、可靠的工具,用于测量对技术增强的态度。这项初步研究提供了一些重要结果,但需要未来的工作来验证该问卷。
