本研究立意取樣高雄縣市有意願私立幼兒園幼兒及家長各30名為對象，進行幼兒個別訪談及家長問卷調查，以了解現今死亡訊息充斥之生存環境下幼兒死亡概念意涵、不同年齡層之差異、其影響因素。結果發現多數大班幼兒及部分中班幼兒具成熟死亡概念，多數小班幼兒因不具死亡判定次概念而不具成熟死亡概念；幼兒接觸死亡經驗與傳播媒體、家長的死亡概念、宗教信仰及公開談論死亡等因素會影響幼兒的死亡概念，然只有部分次概念達到顯著性水準。
This was an research attempted by writers and other 10 junior of department care and education for young children. The main purpose was to inspire pre-occupational and in-job nursery nursers' research abilities. 30 preschool children were interviewed and 30 parents were requested to fulfill questionnaires in order to understand young children's death concept and its influencial factors. The results showed that parts of 3~5 years old children owned mature death concept, more 3-year-old children who showed no mature death concept was due to their undeveloped death judgment. Death experiences, commercial media, parents' death concepts, religious belief, open talk about death influenced young children's death concept yet only few reach remarkable level.
