形态意识，即对语言中词素和形态结构的认识和意识，已经被证明对阅读很重要。作者研究了复合形态意识与阅读理解相关的多种途径：通过词汇、单词阅读和听力理解的间接途径，以及直接关系。本研究以325位华语二年级学生为研究对象。作者测试了替代结构方程模型，比较了直接和间接关系的变化。结果表明，从阅读的简单视角出发，单词阅读和听力理解这两个预测因子可以解释阅读理解的80%的变异。重要的是，复合形态意识与阅读理解直接相关，也通过词汇、单词阅读和听力理解间接相关。它们共同解释了阅读理解总方差的87%。此外，复合形态意识对阅读理解的总影响，通过多个途径的直接影响（0.18）和间接影响（0.32）后，是实质性的（0.49标准化回归权重）。这些结果进一步证明了形态意识在阅读理解中的重要作用，并强调了形态意识对汉语阅读理解的多种贡献。
Morphological awareness, or the knowledge and awareness of morphemes and morphological structures in a language, has been shown to be important to reading. The authors investigated multiple pathways by which compounding morphological awareness is related to reading comprehension: indirect pathways via vocabulary, word reading, and listening comprehension, as well as a direct relation. This question was addressed using data from 325 Chinese (Mandarin)-speaking second graders. The authors tested alternative structural equation models that compared variations of direct and indirect relations. Results revealed that the two predictors according to the simple view of reading, word reading and listening comprehension, explained 80% of the variance in reading comprehension. Importantly, compounding morphological awareness was directly related to reading comprehension, as well as indirectly via vocabulary, word reading, and listening comprehension. Together, they explained 87% of the total variance in reading comprehension. Moreover, the total effect of compounding morphological awareness on reading comprehension, after accounting for the direct effect (0.18) and indirect effects (0.32) via multiple pathways, was substantial (0.49 standardized regression weight). These results add to growing evidence on the important role of morphological awareness in reading comprehension and highlight the multiple ways that morphological awareness makes a contribution to reading comprehension in Chinese.
