摘要：The main body of reseatch lterature on peer relations has focused on its effects on children's psychosocial and emotional development from preschool period to adolescence. Topics of the research generally consist of peer acceptance/rejection,friendships,and peer victimization. In the review of domestic and intemnational research conducted since late 1990,research trends and issues are described in this paper. Findings suggest some measures in interventions,prevention,and policies in promoting positive peer relations. Some social skill tainings are needed for children to react apropriately in peer relations and get along with their peers. In addition,there is a need for dffrentiation of the intervention programs by participants' roles in bullying situations and gender of children. Moreover,a longitudinal research is required to enhance the understanding of developmental changes in peer relations.
