Abstract

  In this paper, we review studies on children in infancy, early, and middle childhood which were previously published in the Japanese Journal of Educational Psychology, the Japanese Journal of Developmental Psychology, the Japanese Journal of Psychology, and Japanese Psychological Research from July 2015 to June 2016. Research presentations from the 58th annual meeting of the Japanese Association of Educational Psychology, as during the previous year, focused on children's relationships with others. The perspective of children's relationships with others has increasingly become recognized as an important issue due to the many studies addressing this theme. However, these tacitly assumed perspectives have paid little attention to the developmental period of early and middle childhood. Therefore, this paper reviews these studies by focusing on the perspective of children's relationships with others through early and middle childhood. In reviewing the studies, the author highlights the similarities and differences between early and middle childhood. Finally, future prospects are discussed.
