Center for Psychology of Religion

At the Centre for Psychology of Religion at the UCLouvain, Dept. of Psychology (IPSY Institute), we study, from a psychological perspective, i.e., concepts, theories and methods,

• personality, cognition, emotion, morality

• social behavior, well-being, human development, and culture,

as related to, influencing, and/or being impacted by 

• religion, spirituality, fundamentalism, and agnosticism / atheism.

We also welcome rigorous interdisciplinarity with other social and human sciences. 

 

The Centre was founded in 1961 and directed by Antoine Vergote (1961-1987) and Jean-Marie Jaspard (1977-2001), and has been directed since 2001 by Vassilis Saroglou.
