摘要研究了5-6岁和10-11岁儿童在暗示和回忆方面的差异。据推测，年龄较小的孩子比年龄较大的孩子更容易受暗示，而年龄较大的孩子和年龄较小的孩子之间的自信差异会影响这些差异。研究还预测，年龄较大的孩子比年龄较小的孩子能回忆起更多的信息，而且这种年龄差异受自信的影响较小。41名5岁和6岁的孩子以及56名10岁和11岁的孩子就他们目睹的一段视频接受了采访。研究人员问了几个事实性和误导性的问题，并计算了事实性问题的正确答案的百分比（以衡量记忆力）和误导性问题的错误答案的百分比（以衡量易受暗示性）。用行为学术自尊量表（behavioral Academic self Esteem Scale， BASE）的6个项目来衡量儿童的自信水平。结果支持了假设：年龄较小的孩子比年龄较大的孩子更容易受暗示，这种差异在控制了自信后消失了。年龄较大的孩子只比年龄较小的孩子提供有关事件的信息，而且这些年龄差异受他们自信的影响程度要小得多。
Abstract Differences in suggestibility and recall between 5–6 and 10–11 year olds were investigated. It was hypothesized that younger children would be more suggestible than older children and that differences in self confidence between older and younger children would influence these differences. It was also predicted that older children would recall more information than younger children, and that this age difference would be less strongly influenced by self confidence. Forty-one 5 and 6 and fifty-six 10 and 11 year olds were interviewed about a video they had witnessed. Several factual and misleading questions were asked, and the percentage of correct answers to the factual questions (to measure recall) and the percentage of incorrect answer to the misleading questions (to measure suggestibility) were calculated. The level of self confidence of the children was measured with six items of the Behavioural Academic Self Esteem Scale (BASE), reflecting self confidence. The outcomes supported the hypotheses: Younger children were more suggestible than older children and this difference disappeared when controlled for self confidence. Older children gave mere information about the event than younger children, and these age differences were, to much less extent, influenced by their self confidence.
