Abstract: The purpose of this study was to compare the features of self-regulation responses between Japanese and Chinese young children.166 4-and 5-year-olds children(82 Japanese children and 84 Chinese children)were shown the drawings describing the relation between a "child-child" ,a "child-parent" and a "child-nursery teacher" .They were asked to choose one self-regulation response from four alternatives("self-assertion" "self-inhibition" "impulsive" "dependence").The differences between Japanese children and Chinese children on "self-assertion" "self-inhibition" "impulsive" "dependence" in interpersonal situations were analyzed.The main results were as follows:(1)Japanese children showed more self-inhibition responses than Chinese children in the conflict between children and adults(child-parent and child-nursery teacher);They showed more self-assertion responses in the conflict between children.(2)Chinese children showed more dependence responses than Japanese children;They showed more impulsive responses in child-child relation.
