Abstract：
Mother-child memory conversations are a nuanced and important factor in children\'s memory development. The current study focuses on maternal characteristics that are related to individual differences in maternal elaborative style. It also examines the role of maternal elaborative style in children\'s elaborativeness in the context of reminiscing and recounting. Two hundred and nine Turkish mothers (Mage = 36.32, SD = 4.99) and their 5- to 6-year-olds (Mage in months = 66.88, SD = 4.04) (110 girls, 99 boys) participated in the current study. Results revealed that maternal individuation and balanced self-construal type predicted maternal elaborativeness, which in turn predicted child elaborativeness in reminiscing and recounting. Yet, such a relation was not observed for maternal attachment styles or sensitivity. Findings suggested the importance of maternal individuation and balanced self-construal for mothers\' and children\'s elaborativeness in memory conversations.
摘要：
母婴记忆对话是儿童记忆发展中一个微妙而重要的因素。当前的研究重点是与母亲阐述风格的个体差异有关的母亲特征。在回忆和叙述的背景下，它还研究了母亲阐述风格在儿童阐述中的作用。二百九名土耳其母亲（Mage=36.32，SD=4.99）及其5至6岁的孩子（Mage在几个月内=66.88，SD=4.04）（110名女孩，99名男孩）参加了当前的研究。结果表明，母亲的个性化和平衡的自我理解类型可以预测母亲的详细程度，这反过来又预测了儿童在回忆和叙述中的精巧程度。然而，对于母亲的依恋方式或敏感性没有观察到这种关系。研究结果表明，母亲的个性化和平衡的自我建构对于母亲和儿童在记忆对话中的详尽性至关重要。
