The present paper examined preschool children's understanding of their friends' emotional characteristics. In Study 1, twenty-nine 6-year-old children were asked their <friends'> and <acquaintances'> emotional reactions in various situations, such as conflicting (accident and hostility) situations. There were no meaningful differences in the manner of prediction of the subjects' peers whether the peer were <friends> or <acquaintances>. Then in Study 2 subjects were asked their <friends'> and <acquaintances'> emotional reactions in empathetic (positive and negative) situations. In positive situations, the subjects showed no meaningful differences whether peers were <friends> or <acquaintances>. In negative situations, however, the subjects expected their <friends'> empathetic reactions in negative situations. These findings show that friendship is not significant to preschool children in conflicting situations, but that it is significant to them in empathetic situations. In particular, when preschool children have negative feelings, the children expect their friends to have the same feelings.
