4 至 6 岁的儿童（N = 131）听到宗教或非宗教故事，并被询问他们对故事人物和事件的真实性的信念。孩子们对人物和事件的信念程度较低到中等。处于宗教故事条件下的儿童比处于非宗教条件下的儿童对人物和事件的真实性有更高的信念；这种关系随着年龄的增长而加强。使用上帝来解释事件的孩子们对这些事件的真实性表现出更高的信念。故事熟悉程度和家庭宗教信仰也影响了孩子们的反应。作者得出的结论是，上帝对故事的参与影响了孩子们对该故事中人物和事件的真实性的信念。
Four‐ to 6‐year‐old children (N=131) heard religious or nonreligious stories and were questioned about their belief in the reality of the story characters and events. Children had low to moderate levels of belief in the characters and events. Children in the religious story condition had higher levels of belief in the reality of the characters and events than did children in the nonreligious condition; this relation strengthened with age. Children who used God as an explanation for the events showed higher levels of belief in the factuality of those events. Story familiarity and family religiosity also affected children’s responses. The authors conclude that God’s involvement in a story influences children’s belief in the reality of the characters and events in that story.
