Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aimed to examine the relationship between young children’s social self-efficacy and their problem behavior.
Participants were 52 Japanese young children. A longitudinal study was conducted from the age of 6 (time1) to the age of 7 (time2). To examine the social self-efficacy, the Young Children’s Self-Efficacy for Peer Interaction Scale was administered to the children. And the mothers were rated Pediatric Symptom Checklist (PSC) to assess the children’s problem behavior.
It was found that for boys, the social self-efficacy in time1 was positively related to the problem behavior of rule deviation in time2. This results suggested that for boys, self-efficacy too high negatively affects problem behavior after entering elementary school.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究では、日本ではほとんど検討されていなかった幼児期の自己評価と児童期の問題行動とのつながりについて検討した結果、男児において幼児期の対人的自己効力感の高さが児童期の社会的ルールの逸脱につながることが示された。これは、幼児期の高すぎる自己評価は後の問題行動にマイナスに働く可能性と、それが男児においてのみ見らる可能性を示唆しており、海外の研究では見られなかった日本独自の文化的特徴を示したという点で意義深い。
