Dikkate değer entelektüel ilgi alanı ve geniş sosyal yaygınlığına rağmen, din, çağdaş gelişim psikologları tarafından ihmal edilmiş durumdadır. Fakat son yıllarda, çocukların belli bazı evrensel dini fikirlere ilişkin kavrayışlarını araştıran, yeni ortaya çıkan bir yığın araştırma gün yüzüne çıkmış durumdadır. Bazı yeni bulgular, dini inancın iki kurucu nitelikteki bakış açılarının –ilahi aracılara/faktörlere inanç ve ruh beden düalizmine inanç- küçük çocuklara doğal bir şekilde geldiğini iddia etmektedirler. Bu araştırmada bunlar kısaca gözden geçirilip bunlara ilişkin geleceğe yönelik öneriler tartışılmaktadır.
Despite its considerable intellectual interest and great social relevance, religion has been neglected by contemporary developmentalpsychologists. But in the last few years, there has been an emerging body of research exploring children’s grasp of certainuniversal religious ideas. Some recent findings suggest that two foundational aspects of religious belief – belief in divine agents,and belief in mind–body dualism – come naturally to young children. This research is briefly reviewed, and some future directionsare discussed.
