Beyond Conflict Resolution Skills: How Do Children Develop the Will To Solve Conflicts at Schools?
Lewis, Catherine C.
New Directions for Child Development, n73 p91-106 Fall 1996
Analyzed children's interactions in 19 Japanese preschools, focusing on conflict resolution and how teachers diminish their role as authority figures to encourage children's sense of self-efficacy and autonomy. Found that the most common Japanese teacher response to conflict is nonintervention, with rare use of commands and rule statements. Japanese children use a high level of negotiation in interactions.
