在这篇文章中，我们集中在过去几十年的一个重大进展：心理表征作为理解社会发展的工具的引入。我们认为，尽管这种方法作出了相当大的贡献，它是在社会发展研究中的代表性不足，除了在依恋领域。我们继续表明，心理表征（1）在研究人员最重视的社会和自我相关结果中起着关键作用，（2）是社会化经验的载体，也是经验影响儿童结果的主要手段，（3）对确定重要的社会化实践和设计有效的干预措施具有独特的意义，（4）可以将社会发展与心理学的其他领域联系起来。我们还建议，沿着与其他最近的作者，心理表征举行的关键，以了解重要的问题，连续性和变化的发展。
in this article we focus on a major advance of the past few decades: the introduction of mental representation as a tool for understanding social development. We argue that despite the considerable contributions made by this approach, it is underrepresented in social developmental research, except in the area of attachment. We go on to show that mental representations (1) play a key role in the social and self-related outcomes researchers value most highly, (2) are the carriers of socialization experience and a major means through which experience affects children's outcomes, (3) have unique implications for pinpointing important socialization practices and designing effective interventions, and (4) can link social development to other areas in psychology. We also suggest, along with other recent authors, that mental representations hold the key to understanding the important issue of continuity and change in development.
