在家庭自由游戏和智力任务游戏中母亲对孩子的态度特征

In the present study 61 mothers' attitudes and behaviors to their child in family free play and intelligence task oriented play had been observed by using videotaped observation. Mothers' behaviors were coded through four dimensions: control behaviors, warmth, speech communication, and involvement. Results showed that when the child's play transmitted from free play to intelligence task oriented play, the mothers' attitudes and behaviors changed significantly: high control behaviors increased, low control behaviors decreased; more rejection behaviors and fewer acceptance behaviors appeared; speech communication and involvement behaviors also decreased. There were individual differences in the mothers in the two play sessions: there were 42.6% of permitted mothers, 32.8% of warmth mothers and 24.6% communication mothers in the free play session, and there were 54% of permitted mothers, 23% of communication mothers and 23% of high control mothers in the intelligence task oriented play session.
