Social Cognition and Competence in Middle Childhood.

Pellegrini, David S.

Child Development, v56 n1 p153-64 Feb 1985

Evaluates fourth-to seventh-grade children on two aspects of social cognition: interpersonal understanding and means-ends problem-solving ability. Relates the two variables to sex, age, IQ, social class, and multiple dimensions of competence. Both variables significantly correlated with I.Q. while interpersonal understanding also correlated with age and social class. (Author/AS)
