后见之明效应非常普遍,但对其机制的探讨还存在很大争议。本文总结了儿童后见之明效应的研究,并比较了儿童后见之明效应与心理理论发展的异同。在此基础上,本文从发展的角度探讨了后见之明效应的三大理论解释,包括自我中心偏差,抑制功能缺陷,以及源监控能力不足。综合全文,本文提出从毕生发展的角度,设计出能施测于多年龄段的后见之明效应的研究方法,从而比较不同年龄段群体的后见之明效应,希望能有助于理解后见之明效应的机制以及社会认知的发展。
Hindsight bias is a common phenomenon,but our understanding of its mechanism is still controversial.This review summarized research on children's hindsight bias,investigated the similarities and differences between the development of hindsight bias and well-documented development of children's theory-of-mind abilities.Based on that,it discussed about the main mechanisms underlying hindsight bias from a developmental approach,including the egocentric bias,lack of inhibitory control,and fail of source monitoring.In all,this review suggested that investigating hindsight bias from a developmental approach might shed light on the mechanism underlying hindsight bias and social cognition in general.
