Acquisition of story-telling skills is an aspect of language development that is influenced by hearing parental story telling. Because discourse between parent and child is affected by the sex of both parent and child, we hypothesized that sex differences would affect parental story telling and children's acquisition of story-telling skills. For this study, 24 children (12 girls, 12 boys) told a story from a picture book both before and after hearing a parent (12 mothers or 12 fathers) tell the story. Children's stories improved after hearing a parent tell the story. Sons told stories containing more evaluatives (linguistic forms believed to promote better comprehension and memory of stories) after hearing mother's rather than father's story telling, and daughters told stories containing more evaluatives after hearing father's, rather than mother's, story telling. There were no differences in mothers' and fathers' use of evaluatives when telling stories to sons as compared with daughters.
获得讲故事技能是语言发展的一个方面，它受到听父母讲故事的影响。由于亲子之间的话语受到父母和孩子双方性别的影响，我们假设性别差异会影响父母讲故事以及孩子对讲故事技能的习得。在本研究中，24名儿童（12名女孩，12名男孩）在听一位家长（12位母亲或12位父亲）讲述故事之前和之后，根据一本图画书讲述一个故事。听家长讲述故事后，孩子们的故事讲述水平有所提高。儿子们在听完母亲而不是父亲讲故事后，讲述的故事包含更多评价性内容（被认为有助于更好地理解和记忆故事的语言形式），而女儿们在听完父亲而不是母亲讲故事后，讲述的故事包含更多评价性内容。与女儿相比，母亲和父亲在给儿子讲故事时使用评价性内容方面没有差异。
