When good fortune lands in our laps, many of us are quick to see it as a reward from the universe. But when others stumble, we\u2019re just as likely to chalk it up to cosmic payback.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A new study led by York University Faculty of Health<\/a> Professor Cindel White<\/strong>, published in the journal Psychology of Religion and Spirituality<\/em>, explores why people reach for karmic explanations \u2013 and what these beliefs reveal about us.<\/p>\n\n\n

White\u2019s research, which surveyed participants in the U.S., India and Singapore, found a striking pattern: people are far more likely to see their own positive experiences as karmic rewards, while viewing others\u2019 misfortunes as deserved punishment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThinking about karma allows people to take personal credit and feel pride in good things that happen to them, even when it isn\u2019t clear exactly what they did to create the good outcome,\u201d White, a psychology professor, explains. \u201cBut it also allows people to see other people\u2019s suffering as justified retribution.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This tendency, White suggests, is rooted in deep psychological motives. \u201cIt satisfies various personal motives \u2013 to see oneself as good and deserving of good fortune, and to see justice in other people\u2019s suffering. Supernatural beliefs like karma might be especially good at satisfying these motives when other, more secular explanations fail,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s surprising is how consistent this pattern is across cultures. While North Americans have a reputation for self-enhancement and people in Asian countries are thought to be more self-critical, White\u2019s team found only minor differences. \u201cThe positive bias in karmic self-perceptions is a bit weaker in the Indian and Singaporean samples, compared to U.S. samples, but across all countries participants were much more likely to say that other people face karmic punishments, but they receive karmic rewards for themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why do humans reach for these kinds of explanations in the first place? White points to the power of meaning-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSupernatural explanations often provide a way to interpret otherwise inexplicable life events in ways that are compatible with their general view of how the world should work,\u201d she says. The appeal is especially strong in cultures where religious traditions reinforce these ideas. \u201cPeople learn from those around them that karma is a reasonable way to explain life events, and sometimes these supernatural explanations provide an even more compelling way to find meaning than more mundane explanations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The real-world consequences of these beliefs go beyond personal comfort. White warns that karmic thinking can reinforce social inequalities and dampen empathy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKarmic explanations can make people feel especially deserving and proud of their successes, and to feel like successful people deserve their higher status,\u201d she says. \u201cBut it might also lead believers to sometimes blame people for the misfortune they are suffering, and feel less sympathy and desire to help someone who is in need.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
