| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Young children have a tendency to judge others’ intention positively, called positivity bias. To reveal an adaptive role of the bias in sociality development, we conducted a longitudinal study on the relationship between strength of positivity bias at three- to four-year-olds and one-year-later social skills. Children, who had judged an agent as “unintended” even if the agent had clearly wished to disturb a patient, was less likely to show aggressive behavior one year later. The results suggested that positivity bias plays an important role in social development, especially inhibiting aggressive behavior, which challenges a prevailing negative view on bias.
