Abstract
ABSTRACT The gendered experiences of boys and girls in their daily lives appear to predict the motifs that children use to express their concepts of God. At the same time, gender-typical behaviour seems to steer the processes by which these concepts are articulated. This paper tests both of these effects of gender on children’s concepts of God by replicating the method of material collage. The sample consists of n = 51 children attending denominational religious education in a German primary school. The analysis shows that boys significantly more often express their concept of God via technical objects, while girls more often use natural motifs. In this process girls significantly more often use soft material than do boys, whereas the two sexes do not differ significantly in their utilisation of hard material. The results confirm the effect of gender-stereotypes on the expression of children’s God concepts.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
