The Influence Of Parent-child Attachment And Interpersonal Distance Perception On Children’s Distribution Behavior

Distribution behavior is a kind of behavior that children allocate their disposable resources to others.Fair distribution,a typical Pro social behavior,plays a key role in children’s moral development and socialization.As one of the most important social relationships between children’s psychological security needs and early childhood,attachment has a profound impact on children’s fair distribution behavior.Interpersonal distance perception is a kind of social cognition,and it is also an important factor for individuals to express altruistic behavior to others.However,the relationship between interpersonal distance perception and altruistic behavior has not been unified.Therefore,this study mainly explores the influence of parent-child attachment and interpersonal distance perception on children’s distribution behavior,and further explores the influence of stranger face emotional distance perception on children’s distribution behavior on the basis of interpersonal distance perception.In this study,questionnaire survey and behavior experiment are combined,which consists of three parts.In the first study,we analyzed the influence of parent-child attachment type on children’s distribution behavior in general,and designed a single factor(parent-child attachment type: safe,unsafe)experiment using dictator game paradigm.In Study 2,we add the variable of interpersonal distance perception to study the influence of interpersonal distance perception and parent-child attachment type on children’s distribution behavior.The study is divided into two parts.The first part is the study of the influence of parent-child relationship on children’s distribution behavior.Using dictator game paradigm,we designed 2(parent-child attachment type: safe type,unsafe type)×3(interpersonal distance: family,friends,strangers)two factor mixed experimental design;the second part further studies how the distribution behavior of non only child is different in the face of their mother and compatriots,using dictator game paradigm,design 2(parent-child attachment type: safe,unsafe)×2(interpersonal distance: mother,compatriot)two factor mixed experimental design;Study 3 further investigated the distribution behavior of children in the face of strangers with differentfacial emotions,using dictator game paradigm,designed 2(parent-child attachment type: safe,unsafe)×3(interpersonal distance: happy,sad,angry)two factor mixed experimental design.Through the preliminary exploration and analysis of the distribution behavior of children with different types of parent-child attachment under different interpersonal distance perception conditions,the main results of this study are as follows:(1)There is a significant difference between parent-child attachment and non only child attachment,which shows that the safety of parent-child attachment of only child is higher than that of non only child.(2)Parent-child attachment affects children’s distribution behavior,which shows that the score of safe parent-child attachment children’s distribution behavior is significantly higher than that of insecure parent-child attachment children.(3)Different parent-child attachment and interpersonal distance perception have different effects on children’s distribution behavior.Parent-child attachment and interpersonal distance perception have significant main effect and interaction.For family and friends,the children’s fair distribution behavior of secure parent-child attachment is significantly higher than that of insecure,but for strangers,there is no significant difference between the two types of children’s distribution behavior.(4)Different parent-child attachment and interpersonal distance perception produced by different family relationships have different effects on children’s distribution behavior.The main effect of parent-child attachment is significant.Safe parent-child attachment children will be allocated more tokens to their mothers and siblings.(5)Different parent-child attachment and face emotion have different effects on children’s distribution behavior.Parent-child attachment and interpersonal distance perception have significant main effect and interaction.In the face of happy face and sad face,children with secure parent-child attachment scored significantly higher than children with insecure parent-child attachment,and there was no significant difference between them in the face of angry face.Children with secure parent-child attachment scored higher on happy faces than on sad faces,sad faces than on angry faces,while children with insecure parent-child attachment scored higher on happy faces and sad faces than on angry faces,but there was no significant difference between happy and sad faces.
