尽管宗教具有相当大的学术兴趣和巨大的社会意义，但它却被当代发展心理学家所忽视。但在过去几年中，出现了一批新兴研究，探索儿童对某些普遍宗教观念的掌握。最近的一些发现表明，宗教信仰的两个基本方面——对身心二元论的信仰和对神圣力量的信仰——对幼儿来说是很自然的。对这项研究进行了简要回顾，并讨论了一些未来的方向。
Despite its considerable intellectual interest and great social relevance, religion has been neglected by contemporary developmental psychologists. But in the last few years, there has been an emerging body of research exploring children's grasp of certain universal religious ideas. Some recent findings suggest that two foundational aspects of religious belief - belief in mind-body dualism, and belief in divine agents - come naturally to young children. This research is briefly reviewed, and some future directions are discussed.
