Adolescents aspire for independence. Successful independence means knowing when to rely on one's own knowledge and when to listen to others. A critical prerequisite thus is a well-developed metacognitive ability to accurately assess the quality of one's own knowledge. Little is known about whether the strive to become an independent decision maker in adolescence is underpinned by the necessary metacognitive skills. Here, we demonstrate that metacognition matures from childhood to adolescence (N = 107) and that this process coincides with greater independent decision-making. We show that adolescents, in contrast to children, take on others’ advice less often, but only when the advice is misleading. Finally, we demonstrate that adolescents’ reduced reliance on others’ advice is explained by their increased metacognitive skills, suggesting that a developing ability to introspect may support independent decision-making in adolescence.

我更了解！新兴的元认知让青少年忽视错误的建议

青少年渴望独立。成功的独立意味着知道何时依靠自己的知识，何时倾听他人的意见。因此，一个关键的先决条件是具有良好的元认知能力，能够准确评估自己的知识质量。对于青春期成为独立决策者的努力是否以必要的元认知技能为基础，人们知之甚少。在这里，我们证明元认知从童年到青春期（ N = 107）逐渐成熟，并且这个过程与更大的独立决策相一致。我们发现，与儿童相比，青少年较少接受他人的建议，但只有当建议具有误导性时才会如此。最后，我们证明青少年对他人建议的依赖减少是由于他们元认知技能的增强，这表明内省能力的发展可能支持青春期的独立决策。
