This research employs network psychometrics to elucidate the connection between religiosity and the meanings ascribed to in vitro fertilisation (IVF), using a representative sample of Polish Roman Catholics (N=874). Although Poland is known as a country with high indicators of religiosity, studies show that Polish Roman Catholics generally hold positive or neutral views of IVF. Of particular significance is the emergence of "sin" as the central node within the network of meanings associated with IVF. Furthermore, "artificial fertilisation" surfaces as a particularly ambiguous meaning. Beyond its scientific contribution, this article offers practical implications for shaping health policy pertaining to IVF.
本研究采用网络心理测量学方法，以波兰罗马天主教徒的代表性样本（N = 874）来阐明宗教信仰与体外受精（IVF）所赋予意义之间的联系。尽管波兰是一个宗教信仰指标较高的国家，但研究表明，波兰罗马天主教徒总体上对体外受精持积极或中立态度。特别重要的是，“罪”作为与体外受精相关的意义网络中的核心节点出现。此外，“人工受精”呈现出一种特别模糊的意义。除了其科学贡献外，本文还为制定与体外受精相关的卫生政策提供了实际意义。
