Abstract

Abstract Children start to engage in self‐serving deception from approximately 2½ years of age. This emerging self‐centered propensity toward the deliberate covering of truth is predicted by the child's degree of executive function and level of theory of mind. In contrast, existing studies on the emergence of other‐oriented lies point to a significant developmental lag—children begin to produce prosocial lies not prior to 3–4 years of age. What may account for such a lag? In this article, we review the recent literature and conclude that the existing cognitive account does not fully explain the developmental lag between self‐ and other‐serving deception. As an alternative, we propose that reputational concerns may drive the ontogeny of prosocial lies and account for their later emergence.
信誉和亲社会在于发展
儿童大约从两岁半开始就开始进行自私自利的欺骗。这种以自我为中心的故意掩盖真相的倾向是由儿童的执行功能程度和心智理论水平所预测的。相比之下,现有的关于其他导向谎言出现的研究指出了一个显著的发展滞后——儿童在3-4岁之前开始产生亲社会谎言。是什么导致了这种滞后?在这篇文章中,我们回顾了最近的文献,并得出结论,现有的认知解释并不能完全解释自我服务和他人服务之间的发展滞后。作为另一种选择,我们认为声誉问题可能会推动亲社会谎言的个体发生,并解释它们后来的出现。
