Abstract:
Objectives Attributing the intention to others behavior is one important factor in the theory of mind development. This study aimed to assess validity of the Moving shapes paradigm in a group of Iranian school-aged children to evaluate their understanding the intention of others behavior.
Methods Through randomized cluster sampling, students at grades 3 to 5 were recruited among the mainstream schools in Tehran. Parents completed the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). After using the Ishihara test to rule out color-blindness, the Moving shapes paradigm was performed for all participants. Data were analyzed using descriptive methods, T test, linear regression, and Pearsons correlation analysis.
Results The mean age of the participants was 9.96(SD=0.916) years, and 49.2% of them were male. There was no association between age and gender with intentionality score. All variables of the paradigm were significantly correlated with each other (PConclusion The Moving shapes paradigm can be used as a valid test for evaluation of the intentionality in Iranian school-aged children.
