心理理论研究的毕生取向

心理理论经典研究范式主要关注的是3－5岁年龄的儿童，随着研究的不断深入，学们开始逐渐把眼光投向人的生命全程，表现在：开始考察4岁以前儿童有关心理理论的问题；尝试对5岁直到老年期的心理理论发展情况进行探讨；提出了心理理论的毕生发展观。心理理论研究的毕生（life-span)取向已初露端倪，该取向将是今后心理理论领域研究的重要发展方向之一。

The Life-Span Orientation Of Research On Theory Of Mind

The classical paradigm of research on theory of mind mainly focused on 3~5 years old children. But with research in this domain deepened, there emerged an important trend that many investigations began to take into account development of theory of mind in before-4-year and after-5-year olds recently. The author calls this noteworthy trend life-span orientation of research on theory of mind. Another evidence supporting this point is that some scholars have posed explicit views of life-span-developing theory of mind. It is the authors anticipation that this orientation of research on theory of mind should be one of the most important trends in the endeavor of exploring the conspicuous area in the future.
