Research has shown that a hallmark of adolescent development is the growing capacity to interpret human intentionality. In this chapter, the authors examine developmental change in this capacity, which they have termed interpretive thought, in two types of stories, family and autobiographical, told by Canadian youth aged ten to seventeen years. Illustrative examples reveal that youth coordinate an increasing number of psychological components and in so doing, create increasingly abstract and coherent psychological profiles of self and others.
研究表明，青少年发展的一个标志是解读人类意图的能力不断增强。在本章中，作者考察了这种他们称之为解释性思维的能力在两类故事（家庭故事和自传故事）中的发展变化，这些故事由10至17岁的加拿大青少年讲述。示例表明，青少年能够协调越来越多的心理成分，从而构建出关于自我和他人的越来越抽象且连贯的心理画像。
