On Winning Some and Losing Some: A Social Relations Approach to Social Dominance in Toddlers.

Hawley, Patricia H.; Little, Todd D.

Merrill-Palmer Quarterly, v45 n2 p185-214 Apr 1999

Studied predictors of social dominance and the effects of social dominance on the play behavior of 16 young children 1 to 3 years old. Observed multiple interactions with multiple partners to explore individual-level effects and effects due to individual-partner interactions. Found support for expectations that social dominance mediates individual-level attributes and social behavior, and mediation is moderated by degree of familiarity. (TJQ)
