Observational Validation of Ratings of Preschoolers' Social Competence and Behavior Problems.

Denham, Susanne A.; Burger, Christine

Child Study Journal, v21 n3 p185-202 1991

A two-year study of preschoolers attempted to identify emotions and prosocial behaviors that reliably predict teachers' ratings of young preschoolers' affective and behavioral social-emotional competence. Results showed that observed emotion, especially anger and sadness, often predicted teacher ratings of social-emotional competence in interpretable ways. (SH)
