Abstract
This study investigated children's reason giving in a supplication situation. The participants were 60 children, 10 each at ages three through eight. A speech act analysis was used to establish categories of reasons. Results indicated that the categories may be identified as discrete entities and that the data were best analyzed using child response patterns rather than chronological age. Findings demonstrate clearly the development of reason giving strategies in children. Reason giving is defended as a type of compliance gaining.Keywords
