Swinging development of children's societal thinking in everyday life

本研究旨在阐明儿童社会思维在日常生活中摇摆发展的机制。本研究的结果如下：1)儿童在决策上有规则；2)儿童在使用规则的方式上表现出一定的波动性；3)但是，我们还没有找到整合这些规则的过程。我们可以将儿童社会思维在日常生活中的摇摆发展机制表现为使用规则进行决策的任意性。这一结果支持了我在之前的工作(福田，2004年)中提出的“决策的多标准”假说。

The purpose of this research is to clarify the mechanism of the swinging development in children's societal thinking in everyday life. To achieve this purpose, we carried the 3years continued investigation into effect.Results of this research are as following.1)Children have rules on their decision making.2)Children show some fluctuations in the ways of using their rules.3)But, we have not found a process to integrate them.We could show the mechanism of the swinging development in children's societal thinking in everyday life as an arbitrarity in using rules for decision making. This result supports "multiple standards for decision making" hypothesis that I showed in my previous work(Fukuda,2004).
