Outline of Final Research Achievements

In previous studies, the relationship between negative emotions generated through interactions and knowledge acquisition was not clear. Therefore, it is necessary to examine this relationship, by generating negative emotions that are more likely to be associated with knowledge acquisition. Based on this point, I examined how interactions between caregivers and children, as well as between children, were related to the emotions generated by the interactions.　I captured this relationship not by experimental methods, but by video recording the activities of 4- and 5-year-old children during morning free activities at a kindergarten, including the caregivers' responses.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

認知研究と感情研究といったように，他者の心的側面を明らかにする上で別々に行われてきた従来の研究の流れに対し，認知と感情に如何なる関わりがあるのかといった，認知と感情を融合した，新たな研究の展開を示唆できるようになる。
