Wenzhou City Sustenance Of Children's Personality And Other Psychological Characteristics

Fosterling in teachers', a whole new group of children in modern China, are the products of fosterling education which is also a newly-developing outcoming of our society. The appearance of this group calls for large concern and aroses hot debate of the whole society. They board at the teachers', accepting the teachers' guidence, playing and exchanging with other boarders at the same places, which results in a lack of exchanging with their own parents. How about then: quality and characters? This is just what the parents, educators and society concern.In order to analyze their psychological characteristics comprehensively, the research was carried out on 152 bearing and unboarding children in Wenzhou,which adopt Group Intelligence Test for Students, Eysenck Personality Questionnaire(EPQ),Group Thematic Test for Students(T-TAT) and Symptom Checklist 90(SCL-90).It is shown that these children has developed their unique characteristics. Among all the foster children, they are average without gender and residential difference hi intelligence; they are obviously squeamish, introverted, humorsome in characteristics as well as an unstrong sense of concealing; they are in great demanding of family and society instead of power, love, admitting, belonging, and independence. They take a negative attitude toward anything while they feel happy about life. Boys are obviously less humorsome than girls but tend to stronger sense of concealing. Whereas they make no difference in their demanding, reaction and attitude toward life. Suburban foster children are more squeamish than urban foster children,and they have strong desire of independence and they expirence more happiness. But the urban foster children have a more uncertain future than suburban foster children. As to the mental healthy, they all are normal without gender and residential difference.As to the foster children and common children, it is shown that not only the foster boys but also the foster girls make no difference in intelligence with the common group respectively. The foster children are no more squeamish than the common children but they have stronger sense of concealing and stronger reaction of attack, additionally a lack of demanding from the families. As the foster boys have less desire of admitting,than the common boys, their demands.from family are less. While foster girls are more introverted and have more sense of concealing than common girls. They have stronger sense of belonging and demanding, they expirence more misfortune about life and they have more unsatisfied desire from the society and an clearer conception of future.Foster children have the same mental health as the common children, the foster boys have more symptom of adequate diet and sleep than the common boys, whereas there is no differences between foster girls and common girls.We alse attempt to analyze the cause of their unique psychological characteristics. We hold on the view that the social communication among the boarding children, teachers, campanions and parents has changed a lot. And those changes have effect on those children respectively. The effect won't happen individually but connectively and restrictedly. They all affect the development of foster children so that the unique characteristics of foster children come into being.
