Kids\u2019 Developing Beliefs<\/h1>\n

Currently, we are researching children, teens, and adults<\/strong> on their beliefs about important topics such as religion, science, nature, and human nature<\/strong>. We are currently recruiting participants 7 years old through adulthood to participate in this exciting research!<\/p>\n

In this study, participants read 33 statements about the topics listed above and say how much they agree or disagree with each one. Researchers guide participating children (7-12 years old) through the questions<\/strong> over Zoom or in person at our lab on campus. Teenage and adult participants, on the other hand, complete an online survey on their own<\/strong>. Participants (and parents of the child and teen participants) will also be asked to answer demographic questions, such as age, ethnicity, and religious affiliation. The study takes about 15-20 minutes<\/strong> for teen and adult participants and 30-40 minutes<\/strong> for child participants. Children who participate in person get to pick out a toy from our toy chest<\/strong> as thanks, while all other participants are entered to win one of three $50 gift cards<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Child participants<\/h3>\n

Scroll down to schedule a data collection session for child participants who are 7-12 years old. Please schedule a separate session for each participating child!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Adult participants<\/h3>\n

Adults 18+ can access the survey here<\/span><\/a>.<\/strong> **Any adult can participate \u2013 even if you don’t have a child who’s participating. If you have a child or teen who is planning to participate, please wait to complete this survey until they are done participating, as it makes it easier to link your data.**<\/p>\n

Teenage participants<\/h3>\n

Parents of teenage (13-17 years old) participants must provide consent before their teenage child can participate. Click here<\/span><\/a> to provide parental consent and receive a survey link for your teenager to participate.<\/strong><\/p>\n
