亲社会行为归因的发展研究

Study of the Development of Attribution of Prosooial Behavior

亲社会行为归因是社会认知的重要部分,它集中表现为对H·Kelley 提出的折扣原则的使用。本研究通过两个实验,探讨了5—14岁儿童对不同情境下亲社会行为的归因。结果表明7—8岁儿童已普遍使用折扣原则。对不同情境中的亲社会行为,儿童所作的内部归因也明显不同。

Two related experiments were madeewith different stories and scales,to explor,5-14-years old children's attribution of pro-social behavior.The results indicate that 7-8-year-olds can already use discounting principlein their attribution,and children's attributionabout the intrinsic motivation of prosocialbehavior vary significantly with differentsituations in which the prosocial behaviortakes place.
