Friendship Understanding in Socially Accepted, Rejected, and Neglected Children.

Bichard, Sandra L.; And Others

Merrill-Palmer Quarterly, v34 n1 p33-46 Jan 1988

Investigates whether children with poor peer relations display developmental lag in their conceptions of friendship. Compares social-cognitive level of understanding, using the Selman theory of interpersonal understanding, in sample of grade 2 versus grade 7 students identified as socially accepted, rejected, or neglected. The latter did not show developmental lag. (Author/RWB)
