Abstract: 摘要 为了深入了解西方导师与中国博士生之间认知误解的原因，我们考察了我在澳大利亚导师的监督下作为中国国际博士生的生活经历。我们的数据揭示了误解是如何从根源于母国和东道国文化的错配假设中产生和演变的。我们发现，我在三个关键的方面获得了新的见解：培养自我研究的自信心，重新认识"批判性思维"，重新评价我作为一个独立研究者的性别社会建构。我们重新考虑了误解作为独立判断积极发展的催化剂的可能作用。 原文 To gain an in-depth understanding of the causes of the often implicit misunderstandings between Western supervisors and their Chinese doctoral students, we examined my lived experiences as a Chinese international doctoral student under the supervision of my Australian supervisors. Our data revealed how misunderstandings arose and evolved from mismatched assumptions that are rooted in the home and host cultures. We found that I was able to gain new insight in three key ways: developing self-confidence in driving my own research; re-conceptualising ‘critical thinking’; and re-evaluating my own gendered social construction as an independent researcher. We reconsidered the possible roles of misunderstandings as catalysts for positive development of independent judgment.
