It is also an important source of information for children to learn knowledge in the social world, which can influence children's evaluation of others and subsequent behavior. This paper summarizes the relevant research on children's gossip from three aspects: the process of the generation and development of gossip among children, the characteristics of children's cognitive development towards gossip, and children's trust evaluationtowards gossip. Finally, this paper proposes that further research can be carried out from the following aspects: the mechanism of gossip emergence, the mechanism of children's trust in gossip, and the influence of gossip on children's further development.
