The present study was designed to examine the effects of self-evaluation of preschool children on painting behavior and the changing of internal evaluation-standard. The subjects were59 preschool children (M.A. =5). Subjects were submitted to the following conditions: inner-standard self-evaluation (IS-SE), external-standard self-evaluation (ESSE), external-standard other-evaluation (ES-OE), no-evaluation,(CON). The subjects attended the training trials of painting and evaluation for 5 days and then evaluated their own paintings and others, in order to measure the internal-standard, before and after training trials. Results showed that ES-SE progressively improved their performance better than ES-OE and CON. Moreover their standard for others' performance was improved after training period, while their own showed no improvement. It was suggested that the effects of self-evaluation on children's behavior depended on the showing of the evaluation-standard.
