The Many Faces of Social Isolation in Childhood.

Rubin, Kenneth H.; Mills, Rosemary S. L.

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v56 n6 p916-24 Dec 1988

Examined correlates of social withdrawal in childhood. Data from peers, teachers, and students in grade two and again in grades four and five revealed two subtypes of social isolation, passive-anxious and active-immature. While active-immature type was infrequent and unstable, passive-anxious type was stable across grades and predictive of depression and loneliness in grade five. (Author/NB)
