Abstract

The purpose of this study was to offer a model that explained choices of easy, intermediate, and difficult tasks by preschool children. From the author's past studies, three goals were assumed to be associated with children's choices of tasks. Preschool children choose an easy task when their goals are to receive a favorable estimation by others (estimation goal), an intermediate task when they are interested in the task (task goal), and a difficult task when their concerns are focused on the value of success (value of success goal).
