7～11岁儿童失言理解及与母亲教养方式的关系

采用失言任务和改编后的教养方式问卷探讨7~11岁儿童心理理论的发展及其与母亲教养方式的相关。结果表明,在学龄期,儿童在不同层面上对失言的理解能力仍在提高,高年级时已超出单一维度。7岁儿童对包含意图的信念理解与母亲的"过度偏爱"显著负相关;8岁儿童对包含意图的信念理解与母亲的"惩罚和严厉"显著负相关。结果提示在某些年龄阶段,儿童心理理论的发展可能与母亲特定的教养方式有关。

Faux-pas understanding among 7 to 11 years old and its correlation with maternal rearing style

This study aimed to investigate the development of school-age children's theory of mind ability and its possible relation with maternal rearing style. Two faux-pas stories and EMBU revised questionnaire were used to test 150 primary school students aged from 7 to 11 and their mothers.The focus was children's recognition of faux pas,emotional understanding,belief(including intention) understanding and the influence of maternal rearing style.The results showed that children's multiple levels of theory of mind ability were still developing even at school age.For higher graders it was multi-dimensional.Mother's score on "deny and rejection" for 9 year-olds was significantly higher than the one for 7 year-olds.For 7 year-olds children,the score of "belief with intention understanding question" was negatively related to mother's score on "over protected".For 8 year-olds children,the score of "belief together with intention understanding question" was negatively related to mother's score on "punishment and severity".In some developmental ages,children's theory of mind ability might be related to specific maternal rearing style.
