| Research Abstract |
This study investigated factors that determine tolerance towards others' having different opinions and discussed psychological meaning of tolerance. Experiments were conducted with infants, children, and young people. The results suggested that tolerance was a developmental process that is independent of development regarding the understanding of relativism. Moreover, results indicated that issues in the moral domain come to be valued with age. Furthermore, it was indicated that "tolerance towards others with different opinions" affected the expansion of interpersonal networks. Based on the above findings, the developmental meanings of tolerance are discussed and suggestions for the field of education are presented.
