Abstract

ABSTRACT The gendered experiences of boys and girls in their daily lives appear to predict the motifs that children use to express their concepts of God. At the same time, gender-typical behaviour seems to steer the processes by which these concepts are articulated. This paper tests both of these effects of gender on children’s concepts of God by replicating the method of material collage. The sample consists of n = 51 children attending denominational religious education in a German primary school. The analysis shows that boys significantly more often express their concept of God via technical objects, while girls more often use natural motifs. In this process girls significantly more often use soft material than do boys, whereas the two sexes do not differ significantly in their utilisation of hard material. The results confirm the effect of gender-stereotypes on the expression of children’s God concepts.

儿童对上帝概念的差异。基于不同材料的创造性任务的复制研究

男孩和女孩在日常生活中的性别经历似乎可以预测儿童用来表达他们对上帝的概念的母题。与此同时，典型的性别行为似乎引导了阐明这些概念的过程。本文通过复制材料拼贴的方法来测试性别对儿童上帝概念的影响。样本包括在德国一所小学接受宗派宗教教育的n = 51名儿童。分析表明，男孩明显更多地通过技术对象来表达他们对上帝的概念，而女孩更多地使用自然图案。在这个过程中，女孩明显比男孩更多地使用软材料，而两性在使用硬材料方面没有明显差异。研究结果证实了性别刻板印象对儿童上帝概念表达的影响。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
