| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study is a developmental examination of children’s understanding of other people during early and middle childhood, primarily focusing on the children's emotional references in social contexts and relational-regulatory role. Specifically, the study examines (1) the relational coordinative function of positive and negative emotional references between peers in early childhood, (2) differences in the developmental aspects of emotional reference contexts in different relationships, and (3) teachers’ advisory intervention in the early stages of discussions between school children and the thematic content related to emotional communication in the discussions. The results of this study are summarized as follows. In general, the results indicated that young children adjust in peer relationships through positive and playful negative emotional references, and that school children may interact with a variety of emotional themes in the course of taking voluntary discussions.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究成果は、幼児の社会的場面でのポジティブ・ネガティブな感情言及が果たす対人的機能を明らかにしうるものであり、感情コンピテンスや社会的文脈における他者理解の発達の様相を捉えうる子ども同士の社会的相互作用に関わる基礎的資料を提供するものとして大きな意義がある。また、児童期の感情コミュニケーションに関わる話し合いのテーマや自主的な話し合いを成立させる教師の介入などの基礎分析の成果は、今後児童期の話し合いにおける感情言及を含むコミュニケーションの実態を通じ、児童期の社会的なやりとりにおける感情言及と関係調整の関係を明らかにしていく上で重要と考えられる。
