Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research began in 2016 and ended in March 2018. The purpose of this research is as follows. ① Collecting the data by Interview and observation of social behavior related to children's social adaptability. ② Analyzing the relationship between socialization of children collected in early childhood and previous psychological parameters. ③ Collection of saliva DNA for analysis of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and analysis of stress effects of children. ④ We propose a development model for socialization formation. ⑤ Creating a data set to share Japanese researchers.
The results showed that the relevant factors for social behavior are not linearly related to each other, but discontinuity related.
