本研究探讨了儿童对自我表现性表现规则的理解：为了操纵他人对自我的评价而做出虚假的面部表情。4至6岁儿童的样本被用来支持我们的假设，即自我呈现展示规则涉及对他人心理状态的递归认知。儿童完成了一项测量对各种显示规则的理解的任务，另外还完成了一项二级错误信念任务。结果支持这一假设，即对二阶心理表征的欣赏与理解自我表征的规则有关，而与理解亲社会的展示规则(旨在避免他人感受)有关。我们讨论了社会过程与观察到的心理状态理解的变化之间可能的相互作用，这些变化与自我呈现的规则发展有关。
The present research addressed children's understanding of self-presentational display rules: putting on false facial expressions in order to manipulate others' evaluations of the self. A sample of 4- to 6-year-olds was used to rest our hypothesis, that self-presentational display rules involve recursive cognition about others' mental states. Children completed a task measuring understanding of various display rules and additionally performed a second-order false-belief task. Results supported the hypothesis that an appreciation of second-order mental representation is associated with understanding self-presentational display rules but not with understanding prosocial display rules (designed to spare others' feelings). We discuss the likely interaction of social processes with the observed changes in mental-state understanding in relation to rile development of self-presentation.
