ABSTRACT
The relation between children’s guilt proneness and theory of mind (ΤοΜ) was examined in children (Ν = 96) aged 7- to 11-years. Guilt proneness was assessed with a self-report scenario-based measure and ToM was examined with a battery of first-order and second-order mental-state tasks. Hierarchical regression analysis revealed that second-order, but not first-order, mental state understanding, predicted children’s guilt proneness. Age and gender did not have a moderating influence on this relation. These results add to research investigating the significance of ToM for children’s moral emotions.

心理二阶理论作为儿童内疚倾向的预测因子
摘要
在7 至 11 岁的儿童 ( Ν = 96)中检查了儿童的内疚倾向和心理理论 (ΤοΜ) 之间的关系。内疚倾向通过基于自我报告情景的测量进行评估,并通过一系列一阶和二阶心理状态任务检查 ToM。分层回归分析显示,二阶而非一阶的心理状态理解可以预测儿童的内疚倾向。年龄和性别对这种关系没有调节影响。这些结果增加了调查 ToM 对儿童道德情感的重要性的研究。
