Study On The Concept And Behavior Of Sharing For 4-7 Years Old Children In The Conflict Condition

By the study of children's concept on sharing and children's sharing behavior, we can acknowledge when children have the concept of sharing and when children can share with others. Method: select randomly 168 children from a kindergardern and a primary school, including 4 groups (4 years old, 5 years old, 6 years old, and 7 years old). Every child takes all the investigation and test. In order to examine the idea of sharing, we use the way of investigation. And in order to examine the behavior, we use the way of watching children's behavior in an experimental condition.The results are as follows:(l)The concept of sharing change with children's growing up. It is found that the sharing concept of 5 years old group is better than that of 4 years old group, and the affection of age has statistic significance at p=.001 level; The sharing concept of 6 years old group is better than that of 5 years old group, and the affection of age has statistic significance at p=.001 level; The affection of age from 7 years old group to 6 years old group has not statistic significance.(2) The behavior of sharing change with children's growing up. It is found that thesharing behavior of 5 years old group is better than that of 4 years old group, and theaffection of age has statistic significance at p=.001 level; The sharing behavior of 6/years old group is better than that of 5 years old group, and the affection of age hasstatistic significance at p=.001 level; The affection of age from 7 years old group to 6years old group has not statistic significance.(3) The children's behavior of sharing is different when facing different objects. It isfound that the children's behavior of sharing when facing ordinary toys is better than when facing new toys, and the affection of objects have statistic significance at p=.001 level; It is found that the children's concept of sharing when facing different toys has not statistic significance.(4) Both the behavior and the concept of sharing is different between boys and girls, and girls' behavior and concept of sharing is better than the boys'. It is found that the two groups have statistic significance at p=.001 level.(5) The correlation of behavior and concept differ in different ages and when facing different objects. When facing ordinary objects, the correlation of behavior and concept in all groups have statistic significance at p=.01 level. When facing new toys, the correlation of behavior and concept in 4 and 5 years old group have statistic significance at p=.01 level; however, the correlation of behavior and concept in 6 and 7 years old group have not statistic significance.
