SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This dissertation aims to present a model of sacredness - MAPR - that emphasizes four components to empirically study sacredness: source of meaning (M), experience of awe (A), protection against the profane (P), and relationship to religion (R). The empirical studies focus on the psychological mechanisms of protecting, and examine the association of violence and violation of sacredness.
