项目摘要

This project aimed at revealing how young children understand properties and phenomena in domains that naive biology and naive psychology interact. The following results were found through a series of studies with individual interview methods.1. Studies dealing with whether young children could differentiate intermediate properties (i.e., physical dispositional, mental dispositional, physical ability, and mental ability properties) in terms of their long-term modifiability and effective means for modifying them indicated that children as young as 5 years of age had robust intuition about the nature of psychological/mental and biological/physical properties ; the more genetically determined the physical property was, the more difficult the children judged it to be able to change, whereas they judged both mental dispositional and mental ability properties as changeable, but they distinguished the mental dispositional from the mental ability in terms of the means for modification ; even when the children were given a small amount of information suggesting either that the target property was innate or that it was due to a lack of specific experience, they did not change their judgments.2. Studies dealing with children's understanding of psychogenic bodily reactions indicated that not only 5-year-olds but also 7-year-olds had difficulty with recognizing that psychological states could lead a person to have bodily physical reactions, though they recognized that a psychological event could cause a behavioral outcome and that a physical event could cause a physical health outcome.

该项目旨在揭示小孩如何理解天真生物学和天真心理学相互作用的领域的特性和现象。通过对单个访谈方法进行的一系列研究发现了以下结果。1。研究涉及幼儿是否可以根据长期可修改性和修改他们的有效手段来区分中等特性（即身体处置，精神倾向，身体能力和心理能力特性）是否可以区分中等特性（即身体处置，精神倾向，身体能力和心理能力特性），这表明5岁以下年龄的孩子对心理学/心理和生物学/身体/身体/身体/身体/身体/身体/身体/身体/身体的性质的性质有强大的直觉；遗传上确定的物理财产越多，儿童判断其能够改变的困难越困难，而他们认为心理倾向和心理能力属性是可变的，但是他们将心理性倾向与精神能力区分开来，以修改的手段为基础；即使向孩子们提供了少量信息，表明目标财产是先天物业，或者是由于缺乏特定的经验所致，他们也没有改变判断。2。涉及儿童对心理性身体反应的理解的研究表明，不仅5岁，而且7岁的孩子也很难认识到心理状态可能导致一个人具有身体身体反应，尽管他们认识到心理事件可能会导致行为结果，并且身体事件可能会导致身体健康。
