不同年龄儿童对权威认知水平的研究

Studies on the Cognitive Levels of Authorities by Children at Different Ages

文章采用两难故事法对儿童 (7～ 17岁 )在与权威 (父母、教师与社会上的成人 )发生矛盾冲突时所处的认知水平进行了研究 ,结果发现儿童对有关权威的规则与命令并不是一种盲目的服从与不服从 ,而是依据自己对权威的一种认知而行动的 ,儿童对权威的认知处于一种发展过程中 ,不同年龄儿童对权威的认知水平不同且存在显著的年龄差异和对象差异。

By adopting the method of dilemma stories, this paper is intended to explore the cognitive levels of the children when they are having conflict with their authorities. The results indicate that neither do the children obey blindly nor do they disobey blindly the rules and orders from the authorities; instead, they take actions according to their own cognition of their authorities, the children's cognition is in a developing process, the cognitive levels of the children at different ages on authorities are different from each other and the differences between ages are significant.
