This study aimed to test the Differential Experience Hypothesis which suggests mothers and fathers interact differently with their child. The forms and functions of parents' language in interaction with their 2-2.5-year-old child were investigated across four different interactional settings within the home and for each parent separately. The results, supporting the differential experience hypothesis, suggest that differences do exist between mothers' and fathers' conversational styles. However, the findings indicate that gender is not the only influencing factor. The situations in which interaction occurs also appear to have an effect on the style of interaction irrespective of the sex of the parent (context hypothesis).
本研究旨在检验差异体验假说,该假说认为母亲和父亲与孩子的互动方式不同。研究分别考察了父母在家庭中四种不同互动场景下与2至2.5岁孩子互动时语言的形式和功能。结果支持了差异体验假说,表明母亲和父亲的对话风格确实存在差异。然而,研究结果表明性别并非唯一的影响因素。互动发生的情境似乎也会对互动风格产生影响,而与父母的性别无关(情境假说)。
