This exploratory study described Taiwanese children's perceptions of peace and what they think children can do to make peace. In-depth interviews were conducted with 60 Taiwanese children ages 4 to 18 years. The most predominant themes for the perceptions of peace were what peace is not, prosocial behaviors, positive emotions, and positive evaluations of peace. Approximately half of the children (48%) provided specific strategies for making peace. The suggested strategies generally were based on the child's immediate environment, such as “don't fight,” “don't argue,” and specific prosocial behaviors. 52% of children either said, “I don't know” when asked what children can do to make peace, or did not feel empowered to make peace. The initial findings were interpreted in terms of sociocultural issues, such as cultural heritage and upbringing, as well as within a political context.

Blind Children

Because blind children cannot rely on many cues that sighted children use when making judgments about their own and other people's behavior, the authors conducted an exploratory study on blind children's ability to differentiate between normal and two disordered behaviors and their attitudes toward the behaviors. Twelve congenitally, totally blind children in three age groups (5-8, 9-12, 13-17) were selected from public schools in New Jersey. After the children heard three stories describing normal, withdrawn, and antisocial behavior, they were asked two sets of questions related to factors such as causality, changeability, similarity, desirability, assertiveness, and well-being. The authors found that age did not seem to be an important factor either in the children's ability to differentiate between the behaviors or in the causes the children attributed to them.
