幼児期における他者の知識状態に応じたルール違反への反応とルールの共有－社会的ふり遊びの観察から－

Abstract

This study investigated how young children share rules with others during social pretend play. Thirty three children aged 5-6 participated in Experiment 1. Children's responses to rule appropriate pretense by E1 (who did not share the rule with participants), rule violating pretense by E1, and rule violating pretense by E2 (who shared the rule with participants) were recorded. During the experiment, most children protested when E1 violated the rule and few children changed the rule in any case. In Experiment 2, 38 children's responses to E1 violating the rule, and both E1 and E2 violating the rule were recorded. When only E1 violated the rule, most children did not change the rule. However, when both E1 and E2 violated the rule, half of the children changed the rule. These results suggest that young children share rules with others by using rules flexibly according to the context in social pretend play.
