A Naturalistic Study of Affective Expression, Social Competence, and Sociometric Status in Preschoolers.

Walter, Jamie L.; LaFreniere, Peter J.

Early Education and Development, v11 n1 109-22 Jan 2000

Observed 56 preschool children during free play to record occurrences of four types of affect: moderate and strong positive affect, anger, and distress. Also collected teacher ratings of social competence and peer sociometrics. Found that social competence and peer acceptance were associated with strong positive affect, whereas anger and distress are moderated by gender. (LBT)
