ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to examine who young children (3–7-year-olds) would depend on for asking information, and whose information they would endorse: the one provided precise expressions which were the mathematical presentation of several measurements or the other by a person who provided relative expressions which were assistant’s personal opinions did not depend on a metric measurement. The participants consist of 102 young children in Şanlıurfa province in Turkey. The participants interacted with two assistants, one of whom provided precise expressions and the other provided relative expressions about weight, length and quantity comparison of several pictures and materials. Mann–Whitney U Tests revealed that for asking questions children preferred relative assistant significantly more than a precise assistant. Mann–Whitney U Test did not reveal any difference for endorse questions, and also, there was not any difference appear among ages.

摘要

这项研究的目的是检查幼儿（3-7 岁）会依赖谁来询问信息，以及他们会认可谁的信息：一个提供精确的表达，即几个测量的数学表示，或者另一个由提供助手个人意见的相关表达的人不依赖于公制测量。参与者包括土耳其尚勒乌尔法省的 102 名幼儿。参与者与两名助手进行互动，其中一名提供精确表达，另一名提供相对表达，内容涉及几张图片和材料的重量、长度和数量比较。曼-惠特尼大学测试显示，对于提问，孩子们更喜欢亲属助手，而不是精确的助手。Mann-Whitney U检验没有显示背书问题有任何差异，而且年龄之间也没有任何差异。
