Joint action is a common and basic feature of human sociality(Julius Schonherr,2019).In daily life,we often need to engage in various forms of social interaction with others,such as building a house together,playing a game together,or just catching a cup of water handed over by others,all of which involve different degrees of joint action.Previous research on joint action mostly focus on the normal adults,few children study groups,especially the left-behind children of such a special group to interact with others such as the development of social and cognitive ability,joint characterization is a kind of very important social ability,present situation of parent-child separation as the reality of left-behind children is inevitable in life,left-behind children the non left-behind children appeared more social ability and behavior problems(Yang,2020).The Joint Simon task is a typical task paradigm to measure individuals' ability to represent or integrate with others,and also an important reference standard to measure individuals' ability to cooperate with others.Therefore,this study intends to take left-behind children as the research object to explore the development characteristics of this special group's ability to cooperate with others.At the same time,as a factor that cannot be ignored,family function has an impact on the life of left-behind children.Will it also have an impact on the common representational ability of left-behind children and others?And is the theory of mind the reason that family function affects the common representational ability of left-behind children?This study intends to explore the above issues.Based on the above considerations,this study took 100 left-behind and un-left-behind children as research objects,among which 68 were left-behind children and 32 were un-left-behind children.The present situation of left-behind children's common representational ability and the difference of joint action,as well as the influence mechanism of family function and psychological theory on them,were investigated by combining psychological test and behavioral experiment.Experiment 1:first,left-behind and un-left-behind children were screened out to explore the differences of different types of left-behind children in joint actions and whether left-behind or not had an impact on children's common representational ability.In experiment 2,the specific effects of family function and psychological theory as external and internal factors on joint actions of left-behind and un-left-behind children were explored through the completion of"FFSA-C" and "YuanYuan task" in ToM.The results of this study are as follows:(1)When left-behind children complete the joint action,the joint Simon effect is higher than that of un-left-behind children.(2)Family function has a regulating effect on the joint representational ability of left-behind and un-left-behind children.Compared with left-behind children,the joint representational ability of un-left-behind children is more likely to be affected by family function,and the higher the family function is,the better the joint representational ability is.Family function positively predicted the common representational ability of un-left-behind children in joint action.(3)ToM plays a regulating role in the influence of family functions of rural children and left-behind children on the common representational ability.At a low level,family function has a significant positive predictive effect on joint representation,and the better the family function,the better the children's joint representation ability.When the development level of psychological theory is high,the effect of family function on children's common representational ability is not significant.According to the results,the following conclusions are drawn:(1)The common representational ability of left-behind children is better than that of un-left-behind children.It can be seen that left-behind children itself does not necessarily lead to the development of children,which suggests that we should pay more attention to the reasons behind the cognitive development of left-behind children and un-left-behind children.(2)Compared with left-behind children,they are more exposed to the family environment.Therefore,family function has a greater impact on the joint representation of left-behind children than left-behind children.Therefore,improving family function of left-behind children is more conducive to improving their common representation.Thus,the improvement of the function of un-left-behind families is conducive to the improvement of the ability of un-left-behind children to cooperate with others,and provides theoretical significance for the family treatment of un-left-behind children.(3)Family functioning common effect and the ToM of left-behind children common characterization of development,development of rural left-behind children's ToM level can effectively restrain the negative effects brought by insufficient family functioning,enlightens us in education practice,treatment of left-behind children's theory of mind development in targeted psychological counseling can improve parent-child separation,the effects of the negative situation.
