Abstract:While there is an emerging body of research investigating the associations between Theory of Mind and reading in both hearing and deaf children, little attention has been given to the connections between ToM and writing, and the potential for developing ToM through the process of writing. In a descriptive study, the authors focused on investigating the use of writing in role as a means not only of looking for evidence of ToM understandings in text, but of considering the utility of writing in role as a possible strategy for the development of ToM. The written samples of 43 deaf children (aged 7;2 years–11;11 years) were examined, and evidence of ToM was found in the writing of 81% (n = 35), with children demonstrating abilities across the spectrum of development. Implications for both research and pedagogical practice are discussed.

角色写作：聋儿童书面语言的心理发展理论

摘要：尽管有新兴的研究机构正在调查听力和聋哑儿童中的心理理论与阅读之间的关联，但很少关注ToM与写作之间的联系以及通过写作过程发展ToM的潜力。在描述性研究中，作者专注于调查角色扮演的使用，这不仅是寻找文本中对ToM理解的证据，而且还考虑将角色写作作为ToM发展的一种可能策略。检查了43名聋哑儿童（年龄在7; 2岁至11岁； 11岁）的书面样本，并且在写作中发现了81％（n = 35）的ToM证据，其中儿童表现出了在各个发展领域的能力。讨论了对研究和教学实践的影响。
