Motivation is a key factor for child development, but very few studies have examined child and family predictors of both child task and perceived motivation. Thus, the three aims of this 6-month longitudinal study in preschoolers with global developmental delays (GDD) were to explore: 1) differences between task and perceived motivation in cognitive domain; 2) differences among three domains of perceived motivation: cognitive, gross motor, and social; and 3) early child and family predictors of cognitive task motivation and the three domains of perceived motivation 6 months later. Results indicated that preschoolers with GDD showed higher cognitive task motivation than cognitive perceived motivation, and lower perceived cognitive motivation than the other two perceived motivation domains. Different child and family factors predicted cognitive task motivation and the three domains of perceived motivation. Practitioners should educate caregivers on how to observe children's motivation to enhance children's active participation.
动机是儿童发展的关键因素,但很少有研究探讨儿童和家庭对儿童任务和感知动机的预测因素。因此,这项针对有全面发育迟缓 (GDD) 的学龄前儿童的 6 个月纵向研究的三个目的是:1) 探索认知领域中任务动机和感知动机的差异;2) 感知动机的三个领域之间的差异:认知、大运动和社会;3) 6 个月后儿童和家庭对认知任务动机和感知动机三个领域的早期预测因素。结果表明,有 GDD 的学龄前儿童表现出比认知感知动机更高的认知任务动机,比其他两个感知动机领域更低的感知认知动机。不同的儿童和家庭因素预测了认知任务动机和感知动机的三个领域。从业者应该教育照顾者如何观察孩子的动机,以增强孩子的积极参与。
