The objective of this study is to clarify developmental transformations in social perception through a developmental survey which focuses on social thinking abilities and judgment abilities in junior high school students. This survey and analysis, while assuming social thinking abilities and judgment abilities in the context of social sciences to be composed of the five elements of actual judgment abilities, inductive inference abilities, deductive reasoning abilities, social judgment abilities and critical thinking abilities, discussed the following two points. (1) Developmental tendencies in junior high school students’ social thinking abilities and judgment abilities; (2) the relationship of the several abilities which comprise social thinking abilities and judgment abilities. In the results of the analysis of data from junior high school students, it was observed that there was a tendency for deductive reasoning abilities, social judgment abilities and critical thinking abilities to rise in line with students’ progress through the school grades, with this extension being particularly marked between the second grade and third grade. The study found a sequential order in the degree of difficulty of the abilities, proceeding from inductive inference abilities and deductive reasoning abilities to social judgment and then from social judgment to critical thinking abilities, as well as mutual relationships between the different abilities.
