Three experiments examined 6- to 11-year-olds' judgments about appropriate self-descriptions in front of different audiences. Findings indicated that only older children differentiated between an unfamiliar peer and unfamiliar adult audience in selecting one of two self-descriptive statements. Even the youngest children differentiated between audiences when given advance information on audience preferences, but the extent of audience differentiation increased with age. Sociometric information on the audience also influenced variability in differentiation. (Author/KB)
