We expected God images to have bot...

Religiosity and participation in religious activities have been linked with decreased risky behavior. In the current research, we hypothesized that exposure to the concept of God can actually increase people's willingness to engage in certain types of risks. Across seven studies, reminders of God increased risk taking in nonmoral domains. This effect was mediated by the perceived danger of a ri...

We explored this question by involving adults (n = 99) in a speeded property-attribution task in which they decided, as quickly as possible, whether properties of two types— psychological and physiological—could be attributed to God.

In many instances, it is useful to release a part or all of the oligosaccharide chains from a glycoconjugate before analyzing their structure, and the units presented in this section describe a variety of ways in which this can be achieved. Some of the methods described here (particularly the enzymatic ones) can also be applied to the study of free oligosaccharides or to oligosaccharides that a...
