RESEARCH
Introduction
研究介紹
In the Early Experiences in Childhood laboratory,
we explore how young children learn about the world in which they live.
At an early age, how do children see themselves and those around them?
How are they influenced by their parents and other adults in their environment?
When seeking information, how do children make judgments about trustworthy friends and teachers?
We have conducted a wide range of projects.
At the moment, we are interested in how social groups, including one’s religious beliefs, can shape children’s thinking.
在兒童發展與經歷實驗室， 我們探索兒童如何了解並學習他們生活的世界。
在兒童小時候，孩子們如何看待自己和周圍的人？
他們如何受到父母和周圍環境中其他成年人的影響？
在尋找訊息時，孩子如何判斷朋友和老師是否值得信賴？
我們進行了一系列的研究。目前，我們研究的主題是社會群體，
包括一個人的宗教信仰如何影響兒童的思維。
Project 1: Examining the Impact of Religious Beliefs on the Cognitive Processes in Taiwanese Children
In this project, we are interested in how experiences with different beliefs can impact 4- to 8-year-old children and their families’ thinking.
For example, at a young age, what kinds of beliefs do children learn?
How familiar are they with different kinds of beliefs?
How might these beliefs influence their decisions?
Children will be invited to complete a 15-minute experiment about two child characters from different belief backgrounds.
Parents will also be invited to complete a short questionnaire about their family background.Afterwards, we will provide families with a voucher, a certificate of participation, and small gifts for the child.
Our study is one of the first in Taiwan to look at spiritual beliefs from a developmental perspective, and we invite families from different religious and spiritual backgrounds to participate.

在這項研究中，我們致力於了解兒童家庭的宗教信仰如何影響他們的思維和決策。
世界各地的兒童皆會從他們的家庭與社會中學習到各種不同的信念，
這些信念會形塑兒童對他人的看法，以及與他人的互動方式。
在本研究中，我們對於台灣兒童以及他們所經歷的「信仰相關信念」感興趣，
例如：兒童在幼年期會學習到什麼與信仰相關的信念？
兒童對這些信念有多熟悉？
這些信念可能如何影響兒童所做出的決定？

Project 2: Developing Beliefs Taiwan
In this longitudinal project, we are interested in how the religious beliefs of a child’s family can impact children’s cognitive and socioemotional development.
We are representing Taiwan in the Developing Beliefs Network,a large-scale collaboration led by researchers at Boston University and the University of California-Riverside.
The first wave(three waves in total) of data collection has been successfully done at 2023, and we're currently conducting wave 2 data collection.
We are no longer recruiting new families to Project 1.
If you are interested in our work, please email nthu.eec@gmail.com –
we are still looking for Project 2 participants!
在這個長期追蹤的研究計畫中，我們致力於兒童家庭的宗教信仰如何影響兒童的認知和社會情感發展。
我們是DBN在台灣的研究夥伴， 並且和波士頓大學及加州大學河濱分校的研究人員展開大規模合作。
第一波的資料蒐集(總共會有三波)已於2023年成功結束，目前我們正在進行第二波的資料蒐集。
我們目前已停止招募Project2的受試者。如果您對於參與我們其他的研究有興趣，請寄信到以下信箱:
