摘要

心理理论（ToM）在日常社会交流和互动中起着至关重要的作用，越来越多的研究关注学龄儿童的社会认知结构。本研究探讨了中澳两国儿童ToM能力的年龄相关变化和跨文化差异。我们从中国招募了126名儿童，从澳大利亚招募了83名儿童。通过四项测试测量儿童的认知和情感汤姆。研究结果显示，尽管在解释性汤姆和失礼行为的表现上没有文化差异，但中国儿童在《眼中的读心术》和《奇怪的故事》中的表现不如澳大利亚儿童。

Age-Related Changes in Theory of Mind in Middle Childhood: A Cross-Cultural Comparison Between Australian and Chinese Children.

Theory of mind (ToM) is centrally important in everyday social communication and interactions, and a growing number of studies have focused on this social-cognitive construct in school-aged children. This study explored age-related changes in ToM abilities and cross-cultural differences between children from China and Australia. We recruited 126 children from China and 83 children from Australia. The children's cognitive and affective ToM were measured by four tests. The findings showed that although there were no cultural differences in Interpretive ToM and Faux Pas performances, Chinese children performed poorer in Reading Mind in the Eyes and Strange Stories than Australian children.

期刊介绍： Devoted to exploring relationships between brain and behavior across the life span, Developmental Neuropsychology publishes scholarly papers on the appearance and development of behavioral functions, such as language, perception, and social, motivational and cognitive processes as they relate to brain functions and structures. Appropriate subjects include studies of changes in cognitive function—brain structure relationships across a time period, early cognitive behaviors in normal and brain-damaged children, plasticity and recovery of function after early brain damage, the development of complex cognitive and motor skills, and specific and nonspecific disturbances, such as learning disabilities, mental retardation, schizophrenia, stuttering, and developmental aphasia. In the gerontologic areas, relevant subjects include neuropsychological analyses of normal age-related changes in brain and behavioral functions, such as sensory, motor, cognitive, and adaptive abilities; studies of age-related diseases of the nervous system; and recovery of function in later life. Empirical studies, research reviews, case reports, critical commentaries, and book reviews are featured in each issue. By publishing both basic and clinical studies of the developing and aging brain, the journal encourages additional scholarly work that advances understanding of the field of lifespan developmental neuropsychology.
