摘要

本研究探討男、女幼童在人際衝突時，訂定目標與選擇解決策略間的不同。為探究其異同，本研究以十個假設的人際衝突情境為刺激，以一對一的晤談方式，共收集到41位男幼童及41位女幼童的有效資料。結果顯示：不同男、女性別的幼童在衝突解決的目標設定上，並沒有差異；幼童多傾向設立希望達到自己興趣的目標。但在衝突中選擇解決策略時，男女幼童則有所不同。其中的差異在於，女幼童較男幼童多選擇邀請、尋求他人幫助及口語主張的解決策略，而男幼童則比女幼童多選擇行動主張的方式來解決。

Forty-one preschool boys and forty-one girls participated in an interview where ten hypothetical conflict situations were introduced. Their verbal responses were coded and analyzed in Goals and Strategies children would use in the situation.
