The main purpose of the current study was to examine the effects of social information processing, self-regulation, and metacognition variables on ToM using path analysis.
For this purpose, path analysis was conducted for the model established according to the relationships between the variables. Theory of mind task battery (ToMTB), Metacognitive Knowledge Interview (McKI), Schultz Test of Emotion Processing-Preliminary Version (STEP-P), and self-regulation scale were administered to 310 children aged 3-5 years.
The results show that social information processing (except STEP-P.P.B, one of the sub-dimensions of the STEP-P scale) has a significant effect on ToM through metacognition and self-regulation.
In this context, it can be said that social information processing, metacognition, and self-regulation are effective in the development of ToM.
本研究的主要目的是使用路径分析来检验社会信息加工、自我调节和元认知变量对心理理论的影响。
为此,对根据变量之间的关系建立的模型进行路径分析。对310名3至5岁的儿童进行了心理理论任务组套(ToMTB)、元认知知识访谈(McKI)、舒尔茨情绪加工测试-初步版本(STEP-P)和自我调节量表测试。
结果表明,社会信息加工(STEP-P量表的子维度之一STEP-P.P.B除外)通过元认知和自我调节对心理理论有显著影响。
在这种情况下,可以说社会信息加工、元认知和自我调节对心理理论的发展有影响。
