This study examined emotion understanding and motor skills as predictors of children's understanding of faux pas. Faux paus situations are those in which someone causes unintentional offence or behaves inappropriately. Understanding of faux pas requires knowledge of social norms in specific situations as well as emotion understanding. Misunderstanding faux pas can prevent smooth social functioning. Fifty‐six children (aged 7; 0 to 9; 11 years) completed a measure of faux pas understanding, emotion understanding, and motor skills. Children's faux pas understanding, emotion understanding, and motor skills were all related to each other. However, when age, motor skills, and emotion understanding were entered into a regression to predict faux pas understanding, only motor skills predicted understanding of faux pas. The findings are discussed in relation to potential pathways between motor skills and social understanding.

运动技能预测中年儿童对假肢的理解

这项研究检查了情绪理解和运动技能，作为儿童对假肢理解的预测指标。虚假情况是指某人造成无意冒犯或行为不当的情况。理解假人需要了解特定情况下的社会规范以及对情感的理解。误会可能会阻碍社交功能的正常运行。56名儿童（7岁； 0至9岁； 11岁）完成了一定程度的对孩子的理解，情感理解和运动技能的测量。儿童对假肢的理解，情感理解和运动技能都相互关联。但是，当将年龄，运动技能和情绪理解进行回归以预测对人为的理解时，只有运动技能可以预测对人为的理解。
