Focusing on socio-moral deviant behavior and idiosyncratic preference as different behavior of others, the present study examined the effect of types of difference on children's moral and peer acceptance judgments and effect of nature of acceptance settings (public, private), and analyzed the characteristics of tolerance in early childhood. A total of 80 children (M.age = 5 years 9 months) who were enrolled in Japanese kindergartens were presented with a story of a protagonist with socio-moral deviant behavior and a story of a protagonist with idiosyncratic preference. They were then asked to make four types of moral and acceptance judgments, such as whether they would accept the protagonist as a peer in a public or private setting. Results showed that children judged socio-moral deviant behavior to be relatively worse and the agent of the behavior relatively more unlikeable, and that they did not recognize self-determination in the behavior. Children accepted the protagonist who exhibited socio-moral deviancy in kindergarten and private settings at similar levels. On the other, children tended to reject protagonists with idiosyncratic preference in the private setting, where teacher intervention was not in place. Based on these results, characteristics of children's tolerance were discussed from the perspectives of social cognition and socio-moral developments., text, application/pdf}, pages = {75--84}, title = {Tolerance to Different Behavior of Others in Kindergarten Children<教育科学>}, volume = {63}, year = {2014}, yomi = {シュトウ, トシモト and タニワキ, ジュンコ} }
