Over the course of childhood, children's thinking about social groups changes in a variety of ways. Developmental Subjective Group Dynamics (DSGD) theory emphasizes children's understanding of the importance of conforming to group norms. Abrams et al.'s study, which uses DSGD theory as a framework, demonstrates the social cognitive skills underlying young elementary school children's thinking about group norms. Future research on children's thinking about groups and group norms should explore additional elements of this topic, including aspects of typicality beyond loyalty.
在童年时期,儿童对社会群体的思考会以多种方式发生变化。发展性主观群体动态(DSGD)理论强调儿童对遵守群体规范重要性的理解。艾布拉姆斯等人以DSGD理论为框架进行的研究,展示了小学低年级儿童对群体规范思考背后的社会认知技能。未来关于儿童对群体和群体规范思考的研究应探索该主题的其他要素,包括除忠诚度之外的典型性方面。
