and social adaptability, Zhao Jia, Institute of Psychology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China
Children's social behaviors in games, peer acceptance and social adaptability are measured by
experiments, observation and investigation. Analyses found that children's behaviors in games
reflected the development of social ability. Significant correlation exists between behavior in
games and that in reality. Children's social behaviors in games, peer acceptance and social
adaptability have interaction with each other. Therefore, parents and teachers should make full use
of games in the education to the early school-age children.

This study compared the effects of exposure to terrorism on 1471 parents and their primary school
aged children in Israel, America, N. Ireland and Scotland. Parents were asked to rate their level of
restrictiveness, stress and communication with their children. It was found that the most important
predictor for parents’ behaviour under the threat of terrorism is the way they perceive the threat of
terrorism rather than the actual risk. Parents who perceived the threat to be greater tended to be
more stressed, more restrictive and communicate more with their child about terrorism related
issues.
