孤独症儿童对道德和习俗规则的判断

The Moral and Conventional Judgment in Autistic Children

在Blair(1996)研究范式的基础上,增加了权威去道德化和泛习俗化两组问题,考察孤独症和正常儿童对道德和习俗规则的判断及其与他们心理理论的关系。结果发现,孤独症儿童错误信念理解成绩低于接受性言语匹配的正常儿童,两组儿童在道德判断上表现不同,而在习俗判断上的表现没有差异。结果提示,道德判断需要心理理解能力,而习俗判断则与训练和社会化有关。

Based on Blair's research paradigm, this study added two groups of de-moralized and pan-conventional tasks to examine moral and conventional judgment both in autistic and normal children, to explore the relation between judgment and Theory of Mind (ToM) in two types of children. The results indicated that autistic children got lower scores than normal children with matched PPVT in terms of false believe understanding performance; two groups of children showed differences in moral judgment but had no differences in conventional judgment. It suggested that moral judgment might be relied on ToM development, and conventional judgment relate to training and socialization.
