行为薄片撷取技术在儿童人格测评中的应用

Application of Thin Slice Approach in Evaluation of Children's Personality

行为薄片撷取技术(Thin Slices)是观察者通过对他人行为简短的观察,进行人格、智力、撒谎等判断的一种研究方法。本研究使用该技术由30名大学生对6岁儿童在自然实验情况下记录的外显行为进行薄片评定,并由2名老师根据日常观察对儿童的人格进行评估。研究表明,自然实验情境下,单个任务可以对儿童大五人格中至少三个维度:外倾性、开放性、尽责性有较准确地把握,但对神经质与宜人性的评定欠佳,对此可考虑在儿童家中记录他们的行为表现并评定。
