Children ’s actions are often guided by preferences,but sometimes they are different.If the ownership of their favorite items belongs to others,the child’s behavior will change.This problem is a very important topic in the education of preschool children.Studies in recent years have found that with age,when children’s preferences conflict with the ownership of the item,children will pay more attention to the ownership of the item.It also means that the older the child,the greater the sense of ownership will exceed preference.At present,research on the relationship between preschool children’s preferences,preemptive cues and ownership is still in its infancy.In foreign countries,some studies have documented children’s knowledge of ownership,but there is no very clear conclusion about children’s psychological attitudes towards goods and the degree of ownership itself.In China,except for some reviews of children ’s ownership knowledge and understanding,there are few relevant studies.This article studies “the influence of children ’s preferences and ownership of items and preemptive clues on children ’s inference of others’ choice behaviors ”,with reference to relevant research and experimental settings abroad,using empirical analysis and comparative research methods to study the influencing factors of children ’s inferences of others’ choice behavior This article focuses on the analysis of three factors: the ownership of items,preemptive clues,and personal preferences,to study whether children’s choice behavior will be affected when these three factors conflict.This research is regarded as the first empirical research in this field in China.It is innovative and practical,and has important theoretical and practical value.This article studies by setting up three sequential experiments,and allows children to make inferences through setting of scenarios.The three independent variables are ownership,personal preference,and preemptive clues,while the dependent variables are children’s inferences about behavior.The first experimentexplores the impact of ownership on children ’s inferred behavior and proves that ownership has an impact on children ’s inferred behavior,and the understanding of ownership will significantly affect this ability to infer;the second experiment explores children ’s preferences and How to influence children’s choices,and verified that although children were attracted by favorite items,they did not exceed the influence of ownership;for further exploration,experiment three added preemptive clues to explore how preferences,preemptive clues and ownership affect children The choice,the experimental results show that with the development of ownership cognition,children will pay more and more attention to the ownership of items,and affect children’s behavior inference.Combining the results of the three experiments,it is proved that preschool children can weigh the relationship between ownership and preferences,and infer the choice behavior of others,and this ability is gradually strengthened with increasing age.The conclusions drawn from the research also provide some guidance for preschool education.(1)Teachers should adopt a variety of methods in daily life to systematically provide regular education to children,so that children gradually form a sense of rules and value ownership the concept of.(2)When a conflict due to ownership occurs,the teacher should guide the children to find a reasonable solution to the conflict according to the different age characteristics of the children,and explain the reasons and concepts.
