“‘There is so much secular as well as religious testimony about what it is to be a ghost,” Kelemen said。 “你可以在《哈利波特》系列电影和迪士尼电影中看到。 Even if children aren’t being raised in religious homes, they’re surrounded by cultural ideas that would tell them what to believe, and that’s true from very early on。’”

克莱门的理论是，恐惧管理解释了成人行为的某些方面，但他想知道，儿童对死亡的恐惧和对永生的渴望是通过社会手段养成的，还是更直观地发生的。

为了新濠影汇线上赌场研究这些想法，克莱门协助博士后新濠影汇线上赌场研究员娜塔莉·埃蒙斯进行了一项新濠影汇线上赌场研究 新濠影汇线上赌场研究生命前的信仰。 埃蒙斯没有问孩子们关于“不朽是死后才会发生的事情”的概念，而是制作了一份调查问卷，询问孩子们在出生前是否以任何形式存在过。 She then interviewed more than 200 urban children in Ecuador (who were largely raised in a Catholic context) and around 80 children in a Shuar village of indigenous people。”
