儿童的决策行为

现有的研究表明，儿童早期就具有一定的利用概率和统计信息来做决策的能力，这种能力随着年龄增长，但和成人相比存在差异；儿童和成人同样运用启发式来做决策，且受许多判断偏见的影响。儿童的决策行为受到人格特征、性别、年龄、任务领域特殊性和信息表征等因素的影响。文中还介绍了决策的自我调节模型和“双过程”理论，从不同的角度解释和预测儿童决策行为的发展。最后分析了儿童决策研究的趋势。

Children's Decision-making Behavior

Previous researches suggested that young children were relatively able to use base-rate information and other types of statistical information to make decisions and judgments, and this performance increased by age, Children used the same heuristics as adults and were susceptible to many judgment biases. Children’s decision-making was influenced by these factors, such as personality traits, gender, age, content domain-specific and information presentation formats. The paper introduced the self-regulation model of decision making and two-process theory to explain and predict the development of children’s decision-making from different perspective. Finally, future researches were discussed in the article.
