Social learning and communication about the self
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- As humans, we are curious about what others think of us. Our understanding of what others think of us critically informs what we learn about the self and how we communicate about the self to others. Bridging rich phenomena from social psychology and recent advances in cognitive development, the overarching goal for this dissertation is to investigate the basic cognitive capacities that underlie how children learn and communicate about the self (i.e., their performance and competence). Chapters 2-3 test young children's ability to provide informative evidence about their competence and the boundary conditions on these communications. Chapter 4 investigates children's abilities to evaluate and seek out informative verbal feedback (praise). Taken together, this work highlights the flexibility of children's inferential and communicative capacities, and suggests their importance for children's developing self-concepts, motivation, and achievement.
