故事情景下儿童回答问题的反应倾向

Childrens' Response Tendency in Answering Questions After Story-telling

本研究选取5、6、8、10岁儿童各32名，采用故事情景来考察儿童处于不可回答问题情况下猜测答案的倾向。研究结果表明：（1）5～10岁儿童在故事情景下面对不可回答问题时存在猜测答案的倾向，且年龄差异不显著。（2）问题形式对儿童猜测答案的倾向有显著影响，较不可回答的开放问题，儿童在不可回答的封闭问题上的猜测答案倾向更强烈。（3）在不可回答的封闭问题上，儿童倾向给出否定的答案。

One hundred and twenty eight 5 to 10-year-old children from Beijing answered questions after story-teUing. Half of the questions were answerable based on the information provided in the stories, and the other half were unanswerable, for these questions could not be answered on the basis of the stories. The results showed： （ 1 ） Chinese children had a tendency to speculate or guess answers when they face unanswerable questions, and there was no age difference. （2） The question format affected children＇s response tendency; there were more correct answers to open questions than closed questions when unanswerable questions were put. （3） Children answered more ＂No＂ than ＂Yes＂ to closed unanswerable questions.
