Maternal Meta-Emotion Philosophy Across Cultures: How Beijing Chinese, Hong Kong Chinese, and European American Mothers Make Sense of Dismissing Children’s Negative Emotions
Mother’s beliefs about negative emotions (i.e., meta-emotion philosophy) are deeply influential to how they socialize emotions in their children and can vary across cultures. However, existing frameworks of meta-emotion philosophy, such as emotion coaching and dismissing, was developed primarily based on families from the Minority World, including European Americans. The present study adopted an emic approach to explore the meta-emotion philosoph…
Earlier false belief understanding predicts later lie‐telling behavior in preschool children, but not vice versa
Young children's lie‐telling behavior is associated with their theory of mind (ToM) development. However, current evidence is primarily based on cross‐sectional studies, with very little longitudinal evidence on the causal relation between the two constructs. The current study provided much‐needed cross‐lagged longitudinal evidence on the association between ToM and lying in young children. Adopting a short‐term longitudinal design, we tested 104…
Cognitive flexibility moderates the association between theory of mind and children’s offer in the Ultimatum Game ( La flexibilidad cognitiva modera la relación entre la teoría de la mente y las ofert…
This study examined the cognitive predictors and constraints of children’s strategic offers in the Ultimatum Game. The Ultimatum Game is a one-shot negotiation on the division of a given sum of rewards between two people, where the receiver has the right to punish the proposer by rejecting unfair offers, which results in nil reward for either party. Ninety-four Hong Kong children ranged between three and six years of age (48 girls, M = 4.94, SD =…
Little pranksters: Inhibitory control mediates the association between false belief understanding and practical joking in young children
To successfully pull a practical joke on someone, children need to understand that their victims do not know what they themselves know, be able to intentionally manipulate others’ beliefs, and maintain a straight face to safeguard the integrity of the joke. This study examined the relationship between children’s developing theory of mind (ToM), inhibitory control, and their ability to pull a practical joke. Ninety-five children between ages 2 and…

Understanding Chinese university student conceptions of assessment: Cultural similarities and jurisdictional differences between Hong Kong and China
Illustrating assessment: How Hong Kong university students conceive of the purposes of assessment
The beliefs, attitudes, experiences and responses that Hong Kong higher education students have about assessment are an important facet to developing our understanding of the ‘Chinese learner’. Using six focus groups, 26 Hong Kong university students drew pictures of assessment. The visual elements of the pictures were content analysed into eight major categories (i.e. negative emotions, being monitored, competition, lifelong, pride and pleasure,…
