Abstract

ABSTRACT The article discusses children’s thoughts about death. Research was carried out in two elementary schools in Sweden among 40 children between 6 and 9 years of age, data were collected through text reading, movie viewing and dialogues with children. The main results reveal child-specific thoughts about the end of life, i.e., ideas children construe on their own. The findings also show society- and time-specific thoughts that children take from their societal and cultural context. The article proposes an integrative approach between these two: it is only when the categories of child-specific and society- and time-specific thoughts are combined that we get a fair picture of children’s perceptions of death. The main finding is that children form ideas of their own; they are not completely under the influence of their societal and cultural context. Children take over ideas from their surrounding society but they also express ideas produced by themselves.

瑞典儿童对死亡的认知

摘要本文论述了儿童对死亡的思考。在瑞典的两所小学对40名6至9岁的儿童进行了研究，通过阅读文本、观看电影和与儿童对话收集数据。主要结果揭示了儿童对生命终结的特定想法，即儿童自己构建的想法。研究结果还显示了儿童从社会和文化背景中获得的特定于社会和时间的思想。这篇文章提出了一种介于两者之间的综合方法：只有当特定于儿童的思想和特定于社会和时间的思想相结合时，我们才能公平地了解儿童对死亡的看法。主要发现是，孩子们形成了自己的想法；他们并没有完全受到社会和文化背景的影响。孩子们接受周围社会的想法，但他们也表达自己产生的想法。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
