The process of socialization can not be separated from the necessary social environment.Only when children interact fully with the people and things in the environment can they grow into an independent social person.Family and school are the main carriers of human socialization.After children leave the family to enter kindergarten,peer relationship is an important indicator of children's further socialization.Social network mainly describes the relationship between individual and individual.The relationship between individual and individual is analyzed quantitatively by social network analysis method.Most of the previous studies on the social network of young children collected data through one of the methods of observation,interview and peer nomination,based on which the social network was established.The social network of young children has the characteristics of instability,only through one kind of data collection established network,the information obtained is relatively single,the study of the social network of young children will be slightly one-sided.Therefore,the establishment of a multi-level social network is conducive to obtain a wide range of network information,comprehensive understanding of the characteristics of childhood peer relations.The data of 30 children aged 5-6 years in a kindergarten in a certain city were collected by three methods: peer nomination method,drama role nomination method and behavior observation method.Data analysis,SNA analysis,core-edge analysis and NetDraw 2.0 were used to realize the visualization of network in this class with Spss 20.0 and Ucinet6.2 respectively.Multidimensional scaling method was used to analyze the subconscious judgment of young children.Thus,the children's consciousness,subconscious and more objective behavior of the establishment of three different levels of social networks.By comparing and analyzing the characteristics of social network,such as centrality and borderline,this paper discusses the characteristics of infant peer relationship network,and obtains the characteristics of children's peer relationship communication.(1)Due to the gender classification of young children,young children's preference for peer selection can be formed.(2)Selection of peers Children may choose according to complementarity rather than similarity.(3)Neglected children are more likely to choose the edge of the class.(4)The traditional class position sorting affects the children's social network and the acquisition of learning resources.It was found that:(1)The drama role nomination method can measure the social network of children's cognitive subconscious.(2)There is a high degree of consistency in the network graphs measured by the peer nomination method and the behavioral observation method,indicating that children's awareness and behavior are relatively consistent.3)combining the three social networks of different levels,the measured social network information is more abundant,the reliability of the network is higher,and the characteristics of the children's peer relationship obtained are more comprehensive.
