Social Interactions in the Home and the Development of Young Children's Conceptions of the Personal.
Peer reviewedNucci, Larry; Weber, Elsa K. – Child Development, 1995
Observations and interviews of 20 middle-class preschoolers and their mothers were conducted to examine the emergence of the personal domain. Found that preschoolers make a conceptual distinction between personal and moral or conventional issues, and that mothers were more likely to negotiate with children over personal than social events.
