"The life of a person is also,can not have no group".Different social groups are shaped by the migration of "gathering" and "living" among individuals,and the different communication behaviors among groups are the important activities to maintain the balance and development of social relations.This paper focuses on the group of children who use the telephone and watch in the upper grade of primary school,using questionnaire survey,semi-structured interview and case study as research methods,a study was conducted among 420 primary school students of grade 4,5 and 6 in a primary school in Xinjin,Sichuan Province.From the angle of communication,sociology and Psychology,this paper tries to analyze the main problem of this paper from the angle of multi-discipline: The influence of Children's phone watch use on peer communication.The research is based on the causal logic of media situation theory for new media-new situation-new behavior,and on the frame of thinking that electronic media can influence individual social behavior,from the quantitative and qualitative mixed path analysis of children's phone watch use how to affect the peer interaction behavior of high-grade pupils.In this study,the data of the subjects were collected by questionnaire survey,and the data were analyzed by gender difference,Regression Analysis and intermediary effect test,children's phone watch use had significant positive effects on the degree of peer interaction,self-disclosure and self-disclosure.Secondly,self-disclosure plays a mediating role in the way that children's phone-watch use positively influences the degree of peer interaction,that is,children's phone-watch use deepens self-disclosure and thus increases the depth of peer interaction.Finally,the gender component of the demographics had different effects on children's phone watch use,self disclosure,and peer interaction.At the same time,through the analysis of the interview content,we have the following findings: First,the function of "touch" and "friend" in children's phone watch breaks the communication boundary,scores and ranks lead to identity honor and identity anxiety in peer communication,and the immediacy of voice and video interaction constructs a brand-new mode of "coordinated interaction" in peer communication.The Circle of friends becomes a stage of self-presentation and triggers a new round of social dependence Secondly,children's telephone watch has evolved into a kind of children's social capital in peer communication,and has become an important element of "labeling" individual role,shaping group identity and dividing group place.The use of children's telephone and watch gradually dispels the concept of "children" and speeds up the process of adult and socialization of High Grade Pupils.The flow and overlapping of virtual space and real space in the use of children's telephone and watch break through the limit of distance to the primary school students' peer interaction,and form the relationship of virtual and real peer interaction.
