How Children Develop Healthy Behavioral Choices to Promote Illness Prevention
CURRENT DIRECTIONS IN PSYCHOLOGICAL SCIENCE(2023)
摘要
Children's understanding of contagion has been a fruitful area for studying children's learning. However, despite a large literature on children's conceptual understanding of illness, there is very little research on the impact of children's knowledge about illness transmission on adaptive behavior. This is important because how children behave when faced with a sick individual or a contaminated object is what is most relevant to whether children get sick and pass along that illness to other people. Here, we will bring together various theories of how children learn to behave adaptively when faced with the possibility of getting sick (a) to better illuminate the different ways by which children might acquire health-related behaviors and (b) to help develop recommendations for designing interventions aimed at teaching children about contagion and illness prevention in a way that produces the most adaptive health behaviors.
