This has me concerned (see bolded text):
quote:
The majority of children who said that they did attend services attended Christian services. We excluded the additional few children who said that they attended Jewish Temple (n = 6), because several of the stories used in the study are based on the New Testament (see Appendix A) and therefore would be likely to be less familiar to children who grew up in a Jewish family.
Wouldn't that bias the study and skew the results? Present stories from the New Testament that the church-goers were taught to believe are true and judge their ability to deal with fantasy from that? Instead, I would have expected new and novel stories to have been used.
