Retrofitting Justification and Progressive Outlook: Commentary on David Elkind (2025)
David Elkind (2025) presents a fruit of his many years of thinking about bridging the theories of the two “most eminent psychologists” (Haggbloom et al., 2002) in the 20th century. He proposes a “cognitive development hierarchy of ego defenses.” It is a unique attempt to set twelve Freudian ego defenses on Piaget’s stages of cognitive development because, unlike Freud’s stages, Piaget’s stages constitute a hierarchical structure that not only len…
Early Childhood Risk-Taking Behaviors in Chinese Parenting Environment: The Mediating Role of Parental Supervision
Research Findings: Parental supervision, parental risk perception, and parental risk attitudes constitute an important parenting environment for the development of young children. To examine the mechanisms of Chinese parenting environment on young children’s risk-taking behaviors, this study first established a four-factor model and surveyed 497 parents of preschoolers. The results indicated that: (1) Chinese young children’s risk-taking was at m…
An exploratory study of salient family risk factors in relation to preschoolers’ unintentional injury in northwest China
Unintentional injury among Chinese preschoolers is an under-researched area. This study examined four salient risk factors underlying unintentional injury; these risk factors have been studied in samples of older children, but not preschoolers, in China. In light of an ecological systems theory, these factors can be conceptualized as three microsystem characteristics (only child status, main caregivers, and family mobility) and one mesosystem cha…
Relocating the frame of reference for studying play: Reflections from fieldwork in Chinese rural preschools
Western play theories and practices have had a dominant role in creating China's current discursive condition for preschool play. They are also essential to current knowledge production about play. However, this dominance tends to be transferred into rural preschools, which have recently mushroomed and demanded play activities. The authors reflect on their own experience in conducting an ethnographic study of China's rural preschools to propose t…
Three Pathways From Anger Dysregulation to Lower Social Status Among Chinese Boys
During middle childhood, Chinese boys are particularly at risk to develop both externalizing (e.g., overt aggression) and internalizing behavioral problems (e.g., social withdrawal). A possible contributor to these problems is that boys cannot regulate their anger very well. Inability to manage anger may cause a particular social challenge for Chinese boys. Open expression of anger may be prohibited by prevailing Chinese cultural norms, because i…
I’m respectful. Why don’t they like me? Evaluator and gender effects of showing respect and children’s social competence
Despite extensive research on the importance of conceptualizing respect, little is known about how respect recipients and peer onlookers evaluate showing respect. Few studies have examined how such evaluations affect children's peer relations across four levels of social complexity (individual, interactions, relationships, and group), and few have assessed how gender influences the evaluations of showing respect to peers on peer social competence…

Get encouraged through failures. Failures are not fearful. We can always start over again”: Chinese children’s lived experiences of zi zun
Zi zun is an indigenous Chinese experience usually glossed in English as self-respect and self-esteem. Previous research connects zi zun with both the need to defend against those who would wrongfully slander the self for failures and the need to learn from past failures. Interpretative phenomenological analysis was used to co-construct narratives with Chinese children about their experiences of zi zun. Sixteen Chinese school-age children partici…
The relation of cyber aggression to peer social competence in the classroom for children in China
Engaging in cyber aggression has been shown to be associated with negative psychosocial adjustment for both the victim and the aggressor for U.S. samples. Of particular interest to the present research was how engaging in cyber aggression related to classroom peer social competence for children in China. Participants were 494 students (Boys = 278; Girls = 216), Grades 3–6, attending an elementary school in Wuhan, China. A path analysis was perfor…
Science learning in early years: Effects of the Chinese television series Big Bird Looks at the World

This study assessed the educational impact of Big Bird Looks at the World in a sample of 1860 children. Preschool and Grade 1–2 classrooms in Central and Southwestern China were randomized within schools to the experimental…

Here, lead author Joseph Tobin - along with new collaborators Yeh Hsueh and Mayumi Karasawa - revisits his original research to discover how two decades of globalization and sweeping social transformation have affected the w…
The Developmental Trend of Mutual Friendship and the Prospective Effect of Aggressive Behavior: A Three-year Longitudinal Study
He Sees the Development of Children's Concepts Upon a Background of Sociology: Jean Piaget's Honorary Degree at Harvard University in 1936
In the recent memory, Jean Piaget has been known as a cognitive developmental psychologist. But in 1936 when Harvard gave him his first honorary degree, he was recognized mainly as a sociologist. Why did Harvard honor him in 1936? Who knew his work well enough to nominate him? This article will address these questions by exploring archival documents from different sources. Evidence draws our attention to a broad social and intellectual endeavor i…

Chinese Early Childhood Educators' Perspectives: On Dealing with a Crying Child
Chinese Early Childhood Educators’ Perspectives: On Dealing with a Crying Child
To study changing beliefs about early childhood education, educators in Beijing were asked to discuss a 20-minute video of a typical day in a Beijing preschool. This paper focuses on reactions to a segment in the video where a teacher, Ms Chang, speaks harshly to a four-year-old girl who cries throughout breakfast. The preservice educators who commented on the videotapeon the whole were unsurprised by and supportive of Ms Chang’s approach to deal…

The Hawthorne experiments and the introduction of Jean Piaget in American industrial psychology, 1929-1932
The Hawthorne experiments and the introduction of Jean Piaget in American industrial psychology, 1929-1932
The Hawthorne interview program between 1929 and 1932 was one of the most significant industrial studies in the United States. The Hawthorne researchers applied Jean Piaget's clinical method in their extensive interviews with tens of thousands of workers. Chiefly responsible for the program's methodology was Elton Mayo, an Australian who saw interviewing as a means to promote social cooperation. Previous discussions of the Hawthorne experiments h…
