| Research Abstract |
This project investigated evelopments of emotion, self-concept, and sensitivity about especially music and art in young childhood, and also examined interpersonal relations with children's peers and teachers. We also exmined how teachers think about their own relationships with those problems.
1. In lingitudinal observations of peer interactions, we analyzed the relationships between interpersonal conflicts and changes of peer relations. Several phases were found as follows ; . phase when one approached and the other rejected ; phase when critical quarrels happened ; phase when both seriously opposed ; phase when both behaved in league ; phase when they face each other equally ; phase when they repair the relations through opposition. 2.

From interviews of 33 teachers, we found that there were differences about types of children whom they felt difficult to guide. While novice teachers comprehended children from a single viewpoint, experienced teachers did so form multiple view points. 5. We analyzed spontaneous singing extracted from video recordings of kindergarten's children. They sang many songs conforming to the situations in intervals among play. In non-task time like clearing-ups, they sang songs which were not relevant with situations. Singing is deeply connected with children's activity states. Less
