How to Promote Preschoolers’ Healthy Personality: An Empirical Study Based on a Field Experiment in Education Across China

Preschoolers' healthy personality indicates stable and balanced personality traits that are universal and positively adaptable in their personality structure. Personality training should start in early childhood. This study utilized games as a medium to cultivate preschoolers' nine positive personality traits, including self-motivated spirit. The cultivation program included 108 detailed games with Chinese cultural characteristics. A one-year field experiment in education across China showed the following results: The field experiment produced a significantly satisfactory effect, with the preschoolers in the experimental classes which implemented game programs gaining significantly higher scores than those in control classes. After a year of training, the proportion of under-controlled and over-controlled types of preschoolers have decreased, while the proportion of resilient preschoolers have increased in the experimental class. The study concludes that the Chinese game program for the cultivation of preschoolers' healthy personality can effectively promote the development of Chinese preschoolers' healthy personality.
