Abstract
Objectives: The main purpose of the current study was to examine the effects of social information processing, self-regulation, and metacognition variables on ToM using path analysis.
Methods: For this purpose, path analysis was conducted for the model established according to the relationships between the variables. Theory of mind task battery (ToMTB), Metacognitive Knowledge Interview (McKI), Schultz Test of Emotion Processing-Preliminary Version (STEP-P), and self-regulation scale were administered to 310 children aged 3-5 years.
Results: The results show that social information processing (except STEP-P.P.B, one of the sub-dimensions of the STEP-P scale) has a significant effect on ToM through metacognition and self-regulation.
Conclusions: In this context, it can be said that social information processing, metacognition, and self-regulation are effective in the development of ToM.
研究目的本研究的主要目的是利用路径分析法研究社会信息处理、自我调节和元认知变量对 ToM 的影响:为此,我们对根据变量间关系建立的模型进行了路径分析。对 310 名 3-5 岁儿童进行了心智理论任务电池(ToMTB)、元认知知识访谈(McKI)、舒尔茨情绪处理测试初版(STEP-P)和自我调节量表的测试:结果表明,社会信息处理(STEP-P 量表的一个子维度 STEP-P.P.B 除外)通过元认知和自我调节对 ToM 有显著影响:在这种情况下,可以说社会信息处理、元认知和自我调节对 ToM 的发展是有效的。
期刊介绍:
Brain Sciences (ISSN 2076-3425) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes original articles, critical reviews, research notes and short communications in the areas of cognitive neuroscience, developmental neuroscience, molecular and cellular neuroscience, neural engineering, neuroimaging, neurolinguistics, neuropathy, systems neuroscience, and theoretical and computational neuroscience. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Electronic files or software regarding the full details of the calculation and experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material.
