| dc.description.abstract | 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 par
enting, psychological control, and autonomy granting from ages 8 to 16 years. At age 22 years, original child participants re
ported 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 | en_US |
