An Experimental Research on Self-schema of Children with Different Self-supporting Levels / 中国临床心理学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To validate whether there is self-schema of self-supporting and to look into the difference in amount of recall,amount of recognition and reaction time between children with high score of self-sporting and those with low score.Methods:Levels of self-supporting of 300 sixth grade students from a primary school in Hunan were assessed by using a Self-supporting Behavior Questionnaire for Six to Twelve Years'Old Children,and the subjects were grouped into two groups,of which the high-score group includes the top 35 from the questionnaire result,and the low-group includes the lowest 35.Then the SRET task was assigned to the two groups and a contrastive study of their self-schema was carried out.Results:The amount of recognition of self-supporting words by the two groups is larger than that of non-self-supporting words;The reaction time of the self-supporting group is longer than that of the other group;there is no significant difference in the amount of correct recognition.Conclusion:High self-supporting group showed self schema of self-supporting,and low self-supporting group showed not only self schema of non-self-supporting but also that of self-supporting,which implies that self-supporting is not a dichotomy concept of self.
