The present study was designed to investigate the impact of reminiscing goals on the style and content of joint mother-child reminiscence. In the study 53 mothers and their 4-year-old children were asked to discuss past events for the purposes of bonding and teaching lessons. Mothers' reminiscing style and level of autonomy support, child memory elaborations, and the evaluative, social, and didactic content of mothers' statements were coded. Mothers displayed higher levels of autonomy support, used more evaluative and social content, and focused more on specific events in conversations for bonding purposes. Conversations for the purpose of teaching lessons tended to include a greater focus on the child relative to others and a greater number of didactic statements. Further, mothers' level of autonomy support was associated with children's contributions in bonding conversations but not lesson conversations. Results are discussed in light of the functional nature of joint reminiscence.
本研究旨在探讨回忆目标对母子共同回忆的方式和内容的影响。在该研究中，53位母亲及其4岁的孩子被要求为了增进感情和传授经验而讨论过去的事件。对母亲的回忆方式、自主支持水平、孩子的记忆详述以及母亲陈述的评价性、社会性和说教性内容进行了编码。母亲们表现出更高水平的自主支持，使用了更多的评价性和社会性内容，并且在为增进感情而进行的对话中更关注具体事件。为了传授经验而进行的对话往往相对于其他人而言更关注孩子，且包含更多的说教性陈述。此外，母亲的自主支持水平与孩子在增进感情对话中的贡献有关，但与传授经验对话无关。根据共同回忆的功能性质对结果进行了讨论。
