Abstract

The present study examined how culture and gender influence the self-construal of mothers and their four-year-olds during dyadic reminiscing. Participants were 21 Thai (11 girls, 10 boys) and 21 American (10 girls, 11 boys) mother-child dyads. Thai dyads exhibited a more interdependent self-construal, whereas American dyads exhibited a more independent self-construal, as measured by personal and group pronoun usage and discussions of behavioral expectations, thoughts and feelings, and personal attributes. Girls and boys differed in the extent to which their self-construal was defined in relation to others in their social groups, for example girls mentioned teachers and classmates more than boys. Culture and gender also interacted in influencing self-construal, with Thai girls (but not boys) mentioning family members more than American counterparts. These findings suggest that the development of children's self-construal, particularly the extent to which children are socialized to view and express themselves independently of others or interdependently with others, differs depending on culture and gender. This work contributes to our understanding of the relationship between autobiographical memory and self during the formative years. Starting as early as preschool, our social environment influences the way we remember our experiences, which in turn shapes our self-construal.

文化和性别对母亲-学龄前儿童回忆自我解释的影响
本研究考察了文化和性别如何影响母亲及其四岁孩子在二元回忆中的自我建构。参与者是21名泰国(11名女孩,10名男孩)和21名美国(10名女孩,11名男孩)母子二人组。泰国二人组表现出更相互依赖的自我解释,而美国二人组则表现出更独立的自我解释,这是通过个人和群体代词的使用以及对行为期望、思想和感受以及个人属性的讨论来衡量的。女孩和男孩在与社会群体中其他人的关系中定义自我解释的程度不同,例如女孩比男孩更多地提到老师和同学。文化和性别也在影响自我解释方面相互作用,泰国女孩(而不是男孩)比美国女孩更多地提到家庭成员。这些发现表明,儿童自我理解的发展,特别是儿童被社会化到独立于他人或与他人相互依赖地看待和表达自己的程度,因文化和性别而异。这项工作有助于我们理解成长期自传式记忆与自我之间的关系。早在学龄前,我们的社会环境就影响着我们记忆经历的方式,而记忆经历反过来又塑造了我们的自我认知。(196/250)

期刊介绍: The Journal of Cognition and Development is the official journal of the Cognitive Development Society (CDS). Some CDS members are concerned with basic research or theory; others focus on policy issues and practical applications. The range of interests includes cognitive development during all stages of life, and we seek to understand ontogenetic processes in both humans and nonhumans. Finally, their interests encompass typical as well as atypical development, and we attempt to characterize both biological and cultural influences on cognitive change and continuity.
