We investigated the relationship of college students' conceptions of the wrathfulness-kindliness of God to their parents' nurturance, their parents' permissiveness, authoritarianism, and authoritativeness, and the students' own self-esteem. Although parents' nurturance, authoritarianism, and authoritativeness were related to participants' conceptions of God (thus providing some support for psychoanalytic assertions), the variable of self-esteem far outweighed all other variables in accounting for the variance in God concepts. These results suggest that self-referencing explanations better account for individuals' conceptions of God than do parent referencing (i.e., psychoanalytic) explanations.
我们研究了大学生对上帝愤怒与仁慈观念同其父母的养育方式、父母的宽容、专制及权威性，以及学生自身自尊之间的关系。尽管父母的养育方式、专制及权威性与参与者对上帝的观念有关（从而为精神分析的论断提供了一些支持），但在解释上帝观念的差异方面，自尊变量比所有其他变量的影响都要大得多。这些结果表明，与基于父母的（即精神分析的）解释相比，基于自我参照的解释能更好地说明个体对上帝的观念。
