Abstract

Primal world beliefs (“primals”) capture individuals’ basic understanding of what sort of world this is. How do children develop beliefs about the nature of the world? Is the world a good place? Safe or dangerous? Enticing or dull? Primals were initially introduced in social and personality psychology to understand beliefs about the world as a whole that may influence well-being and personality. This article introduces the concept of primals to developmental scientists and reviews preliminary research examining how primals relate to sociodemographic and well-being indicators. The article then situates the concept of primals in some classic developmental theories to illustrate testable hypotheses these theories suggest regarding how primals develop. Understanding how individuals develop basic beliefs about the nature of the world deepens insights into the human experience, including how malleable these beliefs might be and how they may be influenced by, and in turn influence, other domains of development.

原始世界信念的发展

原始世界信念(“原始世界”)捕捉了个人对世界的基本理解。孩子们是如何形成关于世界本质的信念的?这个世界是个好地方吗?安全还是危险?诱人还是乏味?原始动物最初被引入社会和人格心理学，以理解可能影响幸福感和个性的关于整个世界的信念。本文向发展科学家介绍了原始动物的概念，并回顾了初步研究，探讨了原始动物与社会人口统计学和福祉指标的关系。然后，文章将原始动物的概念置于一些经典的发展理论中，以说明这些理论提出的关于原始动物如何发展的可检验的假设。了解个人如何形成关于世界本质的基本信念，可以加深对人类经验的洞察，包括这些信念的可塑性，以及它们如何受到其他发展领域的影响，并反过来影响其他发展领域。
