Abstract
The proposed study examines whether children (5-6-year-olds) raised in secular households display an intentional design bias (IDB). This study uses a within-subject design to examine children’s endorsement of the intentional creation of natural kinds by another being during unspeeded and speeded image-based tasks. Using multilevel models, we will assess key comparisons of interest, including children’s performance on the speeded versus unspeeded tasks and the extent to which children’s answers discriminated between natural kinds and control items. Results will reflect how religion-relevant biases develop. Findings that secular children endorse low levels of intentional creation during both the speeded and unspeeded tasks would support the cultural exposure hypothesis, whereas high rates of endorsement of intentional creation, even in just the speeded task, would support the naturalness hypothesis.

This is an interesting route to take with a study in understanding how this would effect how people perceive and interact with the world and others.
This was a very informative study. It’s interesting how religion can create bias in young children.
I wouldn’t have ever thought about how religion could affect children like this. This is a really interesting study.
I never gave it a thought that children would have bias in what they saw because they are raised in secular households so that made this study pretty interesting to me
Very interesting research study!
I am a religious person and I am extremely interested in pastoral psychology ! It is cool to see a study such as this, comparing the bias of secular beings vs. religious.
It is important to explore the bias that religion can create within children. I am happy to see that bias being researched. Great job.
This was an interesting research study especially to see the difference between the cultural exposure and naturalness hypothesis.
I am raising my children to have strong faith in God and I never realized it could create a bias in other parts of their lives. Such a great informative study.
It was very interesting to know that religion relevant biases are present in children. Thank you!
I am religious so this was really cool! I’ve always wondered if there was a religious bias shown in young children….very interesting and informative.
I would have never expected for there to be a bias with children from secular households in the first place! So informative and detailed.
A very interesting study. The development of religious bias in children is fascinating.
