项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests continued funding for an ongoing project examining the development of children's knowledge about and identification with social categories. My previous research has been guided by a conceptualization of changes in social knowledge as periods of transitions that may occur at any point in the lifespan. In this Phase Model of Transitions, changes in how individuals respond to new personally relevant social categories are predicted to occur in relation to changes in knowledge across 3 phases. Phase 1, Construction, is marked by open information-seeking about this new category. Phase 2, Consolidation, occurs when the individual attempts to consolidate this information into a clear set of identity-relevant conclusions. Phase 3, Integration, refers to processes that allow the individual to integrate these new identities and function more flexibly. The proposed research combines this normative developmental focus with an examination of individual differences at each phase and their consequences. Because of the complexity of this new direction, the research focuses on a single social category: gender. The proposed research is organized into 3 study sets each addressing 1 or more of the following questions: (1) What are the connections between social identity and other elements of gender development?; (2) How do individual differences in the components of gender identity, behavior, and beliefs relate to well-being?; (3) When and how do children first begin to construct their gender identities?; and (4) What role do variations in socialization/socio-cultural context play with respect to the preceding 3 research questions? The proposed studies move beyond prior research on gender identity by examining the developmental course of different components of identity and their effects on psycho-social adjustment. Although the proposed studies focus on gender, the issues being examined and the methods used will allow general principles to emerge.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请要求继续资助一个正在进行的项目，该项目旨在检查儿童对社会类别的了解和认同的发展。我之前的研究以社会知识变化的概念为指导，将其视为可能发生在生命周期中任何阶段的转变时期。在这个转变阶段模型中，预计个人对新的个人相关社会类别的反应方式的变化将与三个阶段的知识变化相关。第一阶段“建设”的特点是公开寻求有关这一新类别的信息。第二阶段，巩固，当个人试图将这些信息合并成一组清晰的与身份相关的结论时发生。第三阶段，整合，是指允许个人整合这些新身份并更灵活地发挥作用的过程。拟议的研究将这种规范发展重点与对每个阶段的个体差异及其后果的检查结合起来。由于这个新方向的复杂性，该研究集中于一个单一的社会类别：性别。拟议的研究分为 3 个研究组，每个研究组解决以下 1 个或多个问题：(1) 社会认同与性别发展的其他要素之间有什么联系？ (2) 性别认同、行为和信仰各组成部分的个体差异与幸福感有何关系？ (3) 孩子何时以及如何开始构建自己的性别认同？； (4) 社会化/社会文化背景的变化对于前三个研究问题发挥什么作用？拟议的研究超越了先前对性别认同的研究，通过检查身份不同组成部分的发展过程及其对心理社会调整的影响。尽管拟议的研究重点是性别，但正在研究的问题和使用的方法将使一般原则浮出水面。
