Little is known about how children's value priorities develop over time. This study identifies children's value priority profiles and follows their development during middle childhood. Australian children (N = 609; ages 5-12 at Time 1) reported their values over 2 years. Latent Transition Analysis indicated four profiles: Social-Focus, Self-Focus, Growth-Focus and Undifferentiated. Within person development was characterized by profile stability or transfer to the Social-Focus profile. Younger children were more likely to have an Undifferentiated profile (or Self-Focus among boys) than older ones. Girls were more likely to have a Social-Focus profile or transfer to it, and less likely to have a Self- or Growth-Focus profile than boys. Social-Focus profile membership over time predicted more prosocial and less aggressive behavior.
关于儿童的价值观优先顺序是如何随着时间的推移而发展的，目前知之甚少。本研究确定了儿童的价值观优先顺序，并在儿童中期观察了其发展情况。澳大利亚儿童（N=609；在第 1 次时间点时年龄为 5-12 岁）在 2 年内报告了他们的价值观。潜在转变分析表明存在四种类型：社会焦点型、自我焦点型、成长焦点型和未分化型。个体内发展的特点是保持原有的类型，或转变为社会焦点型。年幼的儿童比年长的儿童更有可能属于未分化型（或男孩属于自我焦点型）。女孩更有可能属于社会焦点型，或转变为社会焦点型，而不太可能属于自我焦点型或成长焦点型，比男孩。随着时间的推移，属于社会焦点型的比例预测了更多的亲社会行为和更少的攻击行为。
