目的:采用自我参照效应范式探究中国母亲是否存在孩子参照效应。方法:采用五水平(自己、孩子、公众人物、简单任务和语义)的被试内设计,53位中国母亲(33.56±4.92岁,孩子的平均年龄3.94±2.50岁)参加了实验。结果:重复测量方差分析发现,孩子参照的再认正确率(M=0.64,SD=0.23)比自己参照的再认正确率(M=0.70,SD=0.20)低,但是比参照大众人物的再认正确率(M=0.56,SD=0.21)高;F(4,208)=37.24,P<0.01。孩子的年龄对孩子参照效应起调节作用,当孩子大于4岁的时候参照效应更加明显。结论:中国母亲在记忆上出现了孩子参照效应,将孩子认知为自我的一部分。且这种效应在拥有4岁以上孩子的母亲中更为明显。

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate whether Chinese mothers would show child-reference effect and whether or not child’s age moderates this effect. Methods: The study recruited 53 mothers(age=33.56±4.92, children’s age=3.94±2.50). A five(self, child, public character, font and semantic) within-subject design was used with self-reference effect paradigm. Results: The repeated ANOVA find that the recognition score for child-referent(M=0.64, SD=0.23) was lower than those of self-referent(M=0.70, SD=0.20), and higher than those of public-character-referent(M=0.56, SD= 0.21);F (4,208)=37.24,P <0.01. And child’s age moderated the child-reference effect, demonstrating that the child-reference effect was stronger when the child’age is over 4 than those less than 4. Conclusion: Chinese mother show child-reference effect on recognition condition. And it is much stronger when the child’s age is over 4.
