Abstract
This study was to fmd out children`s Negotiation Levels(NLs) according to their age and gender. The subjects for this study were 143 children of 7, 9, 12 years. Two children dyads participated in the experimental play situation with Rokenbok Electronic Toy Systems. The NLs in children`s interactive dialogue & actions were scored with Stone, Robinson & Taylor(1980)`s `Negotiation of Task Completion Coding Manual`. They were coded into Level 0(no interaction), Level 1(one way interaction), Level 2(reciprocally interaction), Level 3(mutual or cooperative interaction). The results were as follows; 1) 12-year-old children negotiated with higher level than 7-and 9-year old children 2) Boys` NLs average were higher than girls`. These results imply that 1) the fluctuation of NLs in childhood, especially around 10 years, should be interpreted carefully, 2) various measuring kits for negotiation should be developed considering children`s characteristics, such as age, gender etc.
