Abstract: The relationship among children's different level of emotion understanding,prosocial behavior and peer acceptance was investigated in a sample of 131 children aged 3 to 6.The result indicated that different trends existed for the development of children's emotion label,emotion decoding and second-order emotion understanding.In general, children's ability of emotion decoding and prosocial behavior significantly predicted the variance of their peer acceptance, however,the association of peer acceptance with prosocial behavior and emotion understanding changed as a function of children's age.For children under 5 years of age,emotion decoding was the best predictor of social preference,while prosocial behavior was the best predictor of peer acceptance for older children.

Key words: emotion understanding, prosocial behavior, peer acceptance
