Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺南大學 === 幼兒教育學系碩士班 === 100 === This study investigated the contents and types of interactions with
siblings at home, and compared the differences of these interactions between
boy dyads and girl dyads. Two dyads, including boys and girls, were observed
and videotaped ten times while they were playing at home. Field notes and
videotape transcriptions were described, synthesized, analyzed, and compared.
The results showed that the contents of interactions of these two dyads were
based on daily experiences. The girl dyads showed pretend play most, and the
boy dyads showed physical activities and practice play. The positive
interactions of both dyads were more than negative interactions. Most of the
positive interactions were teaching behaviors, followed by helping behaviors.
Besides, the types and frequency of positive interactions between boys
and girls were similar. Most of these positive interactions were teaching
behaviors, followed by helping behaviors and playing together. Yet, the girl
dyads used more verbal interactions, while the boy dyads more physical
interactions. The boy dyads and girl dyads had different negative interactions.
Boy dyads showed more snatch, quarrel, and threaten behaviors, while girl
dyads showed more conflict, quarrel, and control behaviors. However, the
behaviors of snatching and attacking in boy dyads didn’t appear in the girl
dyads.
Finally, related conclusions and suggestions were proposed according to
the results of this study.
