In the present four-year longitudinal study, data of peer victimization of 200 children were
collected via 6 waves of observations in kindergarten, and via peer nomination and teacher rating
in grade one. Data of children’s family variables including SES, parenting style, and rearing
experience, peer acceptance and rejection, and school adjustment as indexed by attitudes towards
school and problem behaviors were also collected. Analysis of the data focused on the
developmental patterns and stability of victimization and how children’s experience of peer
victimization related to the family factors, peer relationship and children’s adjustment both in
kindergarten and in primary school.

The research adopts experiment in combination with questionnaire to study children’s delay of
gratification, his will and his social compatibility. The result shows that children’s delay of
gratification is not significantly related to will or social compatibility. Either boys or girls are the
same as the development level on delay of gratification in childhood. In contrast, children’s will
can enhance the ability of delay of gratification with growing.
4044.3 Perceived reachability as a function of body effectivities by young african infants, Ad
Akandd, The citadel, Lesotho
Following Rochet, Goubet and Senders (1999), two experiments compared 8-month-old infants as
they reach for an object. All the subjects were proficient reachers but with different levels of
sitting ability. The object was presented at various distances, within and beyond reach of the
subject. In the first experiment, the scaling of perceived reachability in infants with different
postural abilities (i.e. non-sitter, near-sitter, and sitter infants) was explored. The second
experiment examined the role of proprioception in the scaling of perceived reachability by
non-sitter and sitter infants. Taken together, results concur with the previous findings of Rochet et
al (1999).

Tak, Hanyang University, Korea, Republic Of
This study was to determine the influence of the low income family’s home environment on the
development of preschooler in Korea. The subject was consisted of 75 children and their families
under poverty. Regarding child’s development, 56 % were under normal range whereas 44% were
suspicious. Among the home environment, deprived family structure and stability dimension has
been found in a negative relationship with child development. Economic difficulties were found as
risk factors in home environment for the child development. As a result, children of poor families
experience improper home environment for the healthy development.
