Abstract

Children and adults express greater confidence in the existence of invisible scientific as compared to invisible religious entities. To further examine this differential confidence, 5- to 11-year-old Turkish children and their parents (N = 174, 122 females) from various regions in Türkiye, a country with an ongoing tension between secularism and religion, were tested in 2021 for their belief in invisible entities. Participants expressed more confidence in the existence of scientific than religious entities. For scientific entities, children justified their belief primarily by elaborating on the properties of the entity, rather than referring to the testimonial source of their judgment. This pattern was reversed for religious entities, arguably, highlighting the role of polarization in shaping the testimony children typically hear.

宗教两极分化以及对隐形科学实体和宗教实体的信仰理由。
与看不见的宗教实体相比,儿童和成人对看不见的科学实体的存在更有信心。为了进一步研究这种信心差异,我们在 2021 年对来自土耳其不同地区的 5 至 11 岁儿童及其父母(174 人,122 名女性)进行了隐形实体信仰测试。与宗教实体相比,参与者对科学实体的存在更有信心。对于科学实体,孩子们主要通过阐述实体的属性来证明他们的信仰,而不是提及他们判断的证据来源。可以说,这种模式在宗教实体方面正好相反,它突出了两极分化在塑造儿童通常听到的证词方面的作用。
