Abstract: Created two Deontic Contexts, Convention Domain and Personal Domain, which both contained the Deontic Rule of Explanation and The Deontic Rule of Punishment in both of them. In order to analyse the development of Middle School Students′ Theory of Mind, we investigated 176 Middle School Students′ judgement of actor′s and constitutor′s opinion, experience and behavioral tendency in Deontic Contexts stories. The results showed:(1)In comparison with conventional rules, the Middle School Students thought actor had more negative comprehension in the rule of Personal Domain, they tended to make his desire come ture.(2)As years go by, Middle School Students′ positive comprehension in the rule of Personal Domain were reduced; they inclined to satisfy own desire.(3)The Middle School Students thought teachers had more negative views to those who had violated the Deontic Rule of Explanation in Convention Domain, they made more punishment to thosewho had violated the Deontic Rule of Punishment.

Key words: middle school students, theory of mind, deontic contexts, deontic rule

摘要: 创设了习俗领域和个人领域两类道义情境故事,两类领域中皆包含阐释型和惩罚型两种规则形式,然后考察176名中学生对道义情境故事中行为者和规则制定者的想法、感受和行为倾向等方面的预测,来分析中学生心理理论的发展特点。结果表明,中学生认为:(1)相对于习俗领域,行为者对个人领域规则会给予更多负面理解,倾向于实现自己的愿望。(2)随着年龄增长,行为者对个人领域规则的正面理解减少,行为方面倾向于满足自己的愿望。(3)教师对违反习俗领域阐释型规则的学生会有较多负面看法,对违反惩罚型规则的学生会做出更多惩罚。
