被害幼児の表情と加害幼児の意図性が保育者の介入行動に与える影響 : 保育者養成校の学生による予測

This study examined the effects of victim's facial expression and intentionality on interventions. Participants were 50 undergraduate students. Almost of them had selected occupations as child-care worker after graduation. The experimental design was victim's facial expression (2 : positive, negative) × intentionality (2 : intentional, accidental). Results showed that they encouraged the perpetrator to apologize to the victim who expressed negative emotion, than one expressing positive emotion. They considered the perpetrator feeling guilty higher in a situation that he or she had hurt the victim intentionally and the victim expressed negative emotion. Additionally they encouraged the perpetrator to apologize sincerely than instrumentally in negative expression-accidental situation, and to apologize instrumentally than sincerely in positive expression-intentional situation.
