ABSTRACT

Four- to seven-year-old children participated in a battery of tasks assessing their theory of mind, conflict inhibition, and delay at time 1, and theory of mind and delay one year later at time 2. Cross-lagged analysis revealed that earlier theory of mind predicted later delay after controlling for earlier conflict inhibition and theory of mind, child age, and family socioeconomic status. The findings highlighted the dynamic nature of the association between theory of mind and delay during the school transition years in its strength and direction, and the increasing specificity in the structure of executive function with age.

耐心是一种美德：心理理论纵向预测儿童在学校过渡期间的延迟

摘要

4 到 7 岁的儿童参加了一系列任务，评估他们在时间 1 的心智理论、冲突抑制和延迟，以及一年后在时间 2 的心智理论和延迟。交叉滞后分析显示，较早在控制了早期的冲突抑制和心理理论、儿童年龄和家庭社会经济地位后，心理理论预测了以后的延迟。研究结果强调了心理理论与学校过渡期间延迟之间的联系在强度和方向上的动态性质，以及执行功能结构随着年龄的增长而增加的特异性。
