摘要：The purpose of this study was to investigate relations between the congruence of parent-child beliefs and child`s perceived competence. The subjects were 138 children (68 eight-year-olds and 70 eleven-year-olds) and their parents. Instruments were the modified Family Belief Interview Schedule (Alessandri & Wozniak,1987),and Harter`s Perceived Competence Scale. Data were analyzed by Pearson`s product moment correlation and two-way ANOVA. There were significant differences in child`s perceived cognitive competence,social competence and physical competence by degree of congruence between child`s belief and maternal belief. Younger children showed a higher level of general self-worth perception while older children showed a lower level. Children who showed a high congruence of beliefs with parents perceived their competence more highly than those with low congruence. This tendency was particularly outstanding in the perception of cognitive competence,implying a positive impact of the congruence of parent-child beliefs on children`s perceived cognitive competence.
