Abstract

Empirical findings and theorizations of both imitation and selective trust offer different views on and interpretations of children's social learning mechanisms. The imitation literature provides ample documentation of children's behavioural patterns in the acquisition of socially appropriate norms and practices. The selective trust literature provides insights into children's cognitive processes of choosing credible informants and what information to learn in future interactions. In this paper, we place together findings from both fields and note that they share analogically similar theoretical underpinnings and offer explanations that are complementary to each other. We contend that children's imitative tendency may be due to their selection of in-group members as cultural experts, who serve as reliable sources of conventional information. Moving forward, we note the importance of evaluating individual differences and cultural factors to provide a more holistic understanding of universality and variation in children's social learning mechanisms.

我复制你对我们文化的了解:结合模仿和选择性信任文献
模仿和选择性信任的经验发现和理论对儿童的社会学习机制提供了不同的观点和解释。模仿文献提供了大量关于儿童在获得适合社会的规范和做法方面的行为模式的文献。选择性信任文献深入了解了儿童选择可靠线人的认知过程,以及在未来的互动中要学习什么信息。在本文中,我们将这两个领域的研究结果放在一起,并注意到它们有着相似的理论基础,并提供了相互补充的解释。我们认为,儿童的模仿倾向可能是由于他们选择了作为文化专家的小组成员,他们是传统信息的可靠来源。展望未来,我们注意到评估个体差异和文化因素的重要性,以更全面地了解儿童社会学习机制的普遍性和变异性。
