Girls' Excuses: Listener, Severity of Violation, and Developmental Effects.
Sell, Marie A.; Rice, Mabel L.
Discourse Processes, v11 n3 p357-71 Jul-Sep 1988

Concludes that older girls used fewer single apologies, incorporated more repair components, and tailored their explanations to the nature of each violation. (JAD)
