| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立屏東教育大學 === 幼兒教育學系 === 96 === This research was to explore three-year-old children’s desire understanding. The researcher respectively examined children’s reactions of desire understanding through different degrees of cue and different directions of reasoning under the same structure. The ninety three-year-olds were randomly chosen to one of three different desire tasks. Results revealed that a）the different degrees of cue（the uninformed vs. the informed）had no effect on children’s desire understanding of protagonists’ conflicting desires. Children in the older-than-3.6-year -old group could correctly to infer mutual desires and desire-dependent emotions, so they had subjective conception of desires. However, even though children in the younger-3.6-year-old group could correctly infer mutual conflicting desires, they neglected the relation between desire and satisfaction, and merely had subjective conception of desires; b）the different directions of reasoning (desire-emotion causal inferences vs. emotion-desire casual inferences) had no effect on children’s desire understanding. Children in the older-than-3.6-year -old group were not influenced on desire tasks by different directions of reasoning, so they had subjective conception of desires. Children in the younger-3.6-year-old group could not effectively infer the relation between desires and desire-dependent emotions, so they had objective conception of desire understanding.
