Abstract
This study was undertaken
to explore perceptions of religious concepts in a sample of preschool
children from three cultural settings, namely, Kuwait, the United
States, and India. Participants were 219 children from one Kuwaiti
public kindergarten, one private American kindergarten, and one
private Indian preschool in the State of Kuwait. Several questions
on general religious concepts such as God, angels, heaven, hell,
the devil, and death were asked; responses were coded and analyzed
to discuss the selected religious concepts with reference to the
sociocultural factors in the three cultures.
