Abstract

This study has examined the role of age in the false belief understanding in typically developing children and to determine if the different type of false belief tasks affects performance on false belief. The survey research design was used. False belief understanding was measured in 72 children between the ages of 3.00 to 5.11 year old. The sample consisted of 12 children in each age group and age groups were divided into six month period. Four false belief tasks were conducted. The findings of this study indicated that the false belief understanding of Turkish speaking children between the ages of 3.0 to 5.11 year old had some similarities as well as some differences to children speaking other than Turkish. 3 year old children seemed to have developed an understanding of the own false belief before they developed a clear understanding of others’ false belief. It was clear that the rapid change of understanding false belief seemed to have appeared at 4.6 year old.

Özet

Normal gelişim gösteren çocukların zihin kuramı işlemlerindeki performanslarının yaşlara göre belirlenmesi ve kullanılan yanlış inanç işlemlerine göre çocukların performanslarında fark olup olmadığının incelenmesinin amaçlandığı araştırma, tarama araştırmaların bir türü olan kesitsel araştırma deseni kullanılarak yapılandırılmıştır. Çalışma grubuna 3.00 – 5.11 yaşlar arasında toplam 72 çocuk alınmıştır. 6 aylık dilimlerden oluşan altı yaş grubunun her birine 12 çocuk dâhil edilmiştir. Zihin kuramının değerlendirilmesinde 4 yanlış inanç işlemi kullanılmıştır. Sonuçlar, 3-5 yaşlar arasındaki anadili Türkçe olan çocuklarda zihin kuramının yaşlara göre gelişiminin diğer dillerle benzerliklerinin yanı sıra farklılıklarının da olduğunu göstermektedir. Çocukların kendi yanlış inançlarını anlamada 3 yaşında başarılı oldukları, başkasının yanlış inançlarını anlamada ise 3 yaşın ikinci ve 4 yaşın ilk döneminde bir değişimin yaşandığı, ancak kazanımın 4.6 yaşta olduğu bulunmuştur.
