A total of 110 preschoolers (ages 4–6) were rated by their teachers on social dominance, moral behavior, and resources control strategies and rated by their parent on parenting. The high dominant children were observed resource control behavior in a play situation. The study indicated that there is significant difference in social dominance between age groups, while there is not between sexes. The points of prosocial control strategy and coercive control strategy increase as the age increases. Especially for 4 and 5 years old children, their prosocial control strategy, coercive control strategy and social dominance are highly correlated. The high social dominant children shows stronger resource control strategy. Most of them are bistrategic controllers and prosocial controllers. Children’s moral behaviors become better and better along with the age increase, and are highly correlated with social dominance. While after controlling the age difference, the moral behaviors and social dominance are not correlated. In parenting, The average score of social rewards is the highest, while the average score of corporal punishment and emotional discipline are the lowest. 6-years-old children’s social dominance is correlated with the deprivation of right. 5-years-old children’s social dominance is correlated with the corporal punishment of parenting. Then, it is found that prosocial control strategy and coercive control strategy are negatively correlated with company activity. School participation is negatively correlated with coercive control strategy. Based on the observation of different age groups for resource control behaviors, prosocial control strategy is increasing along with the age increase, while coercive control strategy is not. Under the observation of prosocial control strategy, the number of times of giving suggestions or prompting the partner and offering objects are the most. Oppositely, the number of times of verbally misleading the partner is the fewest. Under the observation of coercive control strategy, the number of times of taking objects directly and thwarting the partner are the most. Oppositely, the number of times of physically aggressive is the fewest. For the classification of resource control strategy, researchers and teachers are the same on prosocial controllers, while the bistrategic controllers and typical controllers are different. High dominant children tend to use prosocial control strategy when interacting with high-dominant children. On the other hand, when interacting with lower dominant children, they tend to use coercive control strategy. The study not only improved academic trends in domestic, but also provides references for parents and educators.
