参考情绪和心理状态可以预测儿童自我知识的组织。33名3.5岁至4.5岁的孩子(17名女性和15名男性)与他们的母亲讨论了4件过去的事情。对话被编码为情感内容和对精神状态的引用。儿童完成了儿童自我观点问卷(CSVQ；Eder，1990)。自我知识的组织被定义为儿童在CSVQ所指的性情方面将自己评为高或低的一致性。等级多元回归分析表明，在控制语言技能后，情绪参照对组织得分有显著的预测作用，而精神状态参照则不是。母亲比她们的孩子更多地谈论情绪。研究结果与自我概念的早期社会建构理论相一致，并对自传体记忆模型的发展具有一定的启示意义。
Reference to emotion and mental states were expected to predict the organization of children's self-knowledge. Thirty-three 3.5- to 4.5-year-olds (17 females and 15 males) discussed 4 past events with their mothers. Conversations were coded for emotional content and reference to mental states. Children completed the Children's Self-View Questionnaire (CSVQ; Eder, 1990). Organization of self-knowledge was defined as the consistency with which children rated themselves as either high or low with respect to the dispositions indexed by the CSVQ. Hierarchical multiple regression showed that reference to emotion was a significant predictor of organization scores after controlling for linguistic skill, but that mental state reference was not. Mothers initiated talk about emotion more often than their children did. The results are consistent with theories of the early social construction of the self-concept and have implications for developing models of autobiographical memory.
