Conflicts arise when members of one religion apply their norms to members of another religion. Two studies explored how one hundred 9- to 15-year-old Hindu and Muslim children from India reason about the scope of religious norms. Both Hindus and Muslims from a diverse Hindu-Muslim school (Study 1) and Hindus from a homogeneous Hindu school (Study 2) more often judged it wrong for Hindus to violate Hindu norms, compared to Muslim norms, and said the opposite for Muslims. In contrast, children judged it wrong for both Hindus and Muslims to harm others. Thus, even in a setting marred by religious conflict, children can restrict the scope of a religion's norms to members of that religion, providing a basis for peaceful coexistence.
当一个宗教的成员将其规范应用于另一个宗教的成员时，就会产生冲突。两项研究探讨了来自印度的 100 名 9 至 15 岁的印度教和穆斯林儿童如何推理宗教规范的范围。来自一所多元化的印度教-穆斯林学校的印度教徒和穆斯林（研究 1）以及来自一所单一的印度教学校的印度教徒（研究 2）比穆斯林规范更常判断印度教徒违反印度教规范是错误的，而对穆斯林则相反。相比之下，孩子们认为无论是印度教徒还是穆斯林，伤害他人都是错误的。因此，即使在宗教冲突的背景下，孩子们也可以将宗教规范的范围限制在该宗教的成员之内，为和平共处提供基础。
