虽然在过去的几十年里，大量的工作已经表明了成年人自我认知的文化差异，但直到最近，研究人员才开始研究引起这些差异的发展过程和机制。我讨论了我们对两种自我知识发展的研究：自传体记忆和自我概念。我们的研究结果表明，儿童在生命的早期发展特定文化的自我认识;这两种自我认识在个人和文化层面上相互加强;早期的叙事实践构成了一个重要的资源，儿童从中汲取关于自我的文化观点，以融入他们的自我理解和记忆。
Although a great deal of work in the past decades has shown cultural variations in self-knowledge among adults, not until recently have researchers started to examine developmental processes and mechanisms that give rise to the variations. I discuss our research on the development of two kinds of self-knowledge: autobiographical memory and self-concept. Our findings indicate that children develop culture-specific self-knowledge early in life; the two kinds of self-knowledge reinforce each other at both individual and cultural levels; and early narrative practices constitute an important resource from which children draw cultural views about the self to incorporate into their self-understanding and remembering.
