Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study examined the effects of various emotions toward task activities which arise from interactions with another, in an acquirement of knowledge. An experiment was conducted with third graders. In the result, it was revealed that positive emotions promote the acquirement of knowledge through interactions most. Besides, although it depends on the way of interactions, even negative emotions were shown to have possibilities to promote acquirement of knowledge. By these findings, we became able to give a parent and a teacher a suggestion for the means of appropriate interaction to a child.
