The purpose of the present research is to evaluate the sources of variation across family members’ cognitive representation of deity figure(s) via social relations modeling (SRM). Using SRM, this study identifies the degree to which family members’ beliefs about the deity are due to differences in the reporting member (actor effects), the member being perceived (partner effects), or the uniqueness of the dyad (relationship effects). The inclusion of American Christian (n = 90) and Indian Hindu (n = 85) families enabled the examination of patterns in two cultures and belief systems (monotheistic vs. polytheistic). SRM permitted the evaluation of actor, partner, and relationship sources of variance regarding deity representations. Similarities were found in deity representations explained by different family roles and dyads among Christian and Hindu families. Findings underscore the interplay of mothers and children in their shared beliefs and understanding of one another’s beliefs. In contrast, fathers’ beliefs tended to reflect only actor and relationship effects. These findings confirm the importance of family relationships in religious socialization, highlighting the prominence of mothers’ religious views. Implications extend to researchers interested in religious socialization and clinicians interested in family processes involving religion.

God(s) in mind:通过社会关系模型了解基督教和印度教家庭中的神灵代表。

本研究的目的是通过社会关系模型 (SRM) 评估家庭成员对神像的认知表征的变异来源。使用 SRM,本研究确定了家庭成员对神灵的信仰程度是由于报告成员的差异(演员效应)、被感知的成员(伴侣效应)或二元组的独特性(关系效应)。美国基督徒 (n = 90) 和印度印度教徒 (n = 85) 家庭的加入使我们能够检查两种文化和信仰体系(一神论与多神论)中的模式。SRM 允许对演员、合作伙伴和关系来源的有关神像的差异进行评估。在基督教和印度教家庭中不同的家庭角色和二元组解释的神像中发现了相似之处。调查结果强调了母亲和孩子在共同信仰和对彼此信仰的理解方面的相互作用。相比之下,父亲的信念往往只反映演员和关系的影响。这些发现证实了家庭关系在宗教社会化中的重要性,突出了母亲宗教观点的重要性。影响延伸到对宗教社会化感兴趣的研究人员和对涉及宗教的家庭过程感兴趣的临床医生。这些发现证实了家庭关系在宗教社会化中的重要性,突出了母亲宗教观点的重要性。影响延伸到对宗教社会化感兴趣的研究人员和对涉及宗教的家庭过程感兴趣的临床医生。这些发现证实了家庭关系在宗教社会化中的重要性,突出了母亲宗教观点的重要性。影响延伸到对宗教社会化感兴趣的研究人员和对涉及宗教的家庭过程感兴趣的临床医生。
