本研究的目的是提供成年期社会认知推理的年龄比较证据，该证据是由利用后形式推理的任务的情感显着性所介导的。具体来说，这些任务侧重于解决同一事件序列的差异帐户的能力。人们认为，在情感因素起主要作用的推理环境中，不太成熟的思维可能会更加明显。后形式编码方案用于评估人际环境中的推理水平。任务被分配给 60 名受试者——青少年、青壮年和中年人。还对正式操作、自我水平和语言能力进行了测量。我们发现年龄和推理水平任务的情感显着程度之间存在交互作用。具体来说，青少年在情绪显着程度较高的任务上表现较差。此外，还发现了后形式推理的发展差异作为年龄和自我水平的函数。
The purpose of this study was to provide age-comparative evidence of social cognitive reasoning in adulthood, as mediated by the emotional saliency of tasks tapping postformal reasoning. Specifically, the tasks focused on the ability to resolve discrepant accounts of the same event sequence. It was assumed that less mature thinking may be more evident in reasoning contexts in which emotional factors play a major role. A postformal coding scheme was used to assess levels of reasoning in an interpersonal context. Tasks were administered to 60 subjects--adolescents and young and middle-aged adults. Measures of formal operations, ego level, and verbal ability were also administered. An interaction was found between age and degree of emotional saliency of the task for reasoning level. Specifically, adolescents performed less well on tasks higher in degree of emotional saliency. In addition, developmental differences in postformal reasoning as a function of age and ego level were found.
