Primal world beliefs ("primals") capture understanding of general characteristics of the world, such as whether the world is Good and Enticing. Children (N = 1215, 50% girls), mothers, and fathers from Colombia, Italy, Jordan, Kenya, Philippines, Sweden, Thailand, and United States reported neighborhood danger, socioeconomic status, parental warmth, harsh parenting, psychological control, and autonomy granting from ages 8 to 16 years. At age 22 years, original child participants reported their primal world beliefs. Parental warmth during childhood and adolescence significantly predicted Good, Safe, and Enticing world beliefs, but other experiences were only weakly related to primals. We did not find that primals are strongly related to intuitive aspects of the materiality of childhood experiences, which suggests future directions for understanding the origins of primals.
原始世界信念(“原始信念”)体现了对世界一般特征的理解,比如世界是否美好且诱人。来自哥伦比亚、意大利、约旦、肯尼亚、菲律宾、瑞典、泰国和美国的儿童(N = 1215,50%为女孩)、母亲和父亲报告了8至16岁期间的邻里危险、社会经济地位、父母温情、严厉育儿方式、心理控制以及给予自主权的情况。在22岁时,最初参与研究的儿童报告了他们的原始世界信念。童年和青少年时期的父母温情显著预测了对美好、安全和诱人世界的信念,但其他经历与原始信念的关联较弱。我们并未发现原始信念与童年经历物质性的直观方面有强烈关联,这为理解原始信念的起源指明了未来的研究方向。
