Modeling Emotional, Cognitive, and Behavioral Predictors of Peer Acceptance.
Mostow, Allison J.; Izard, Carroll E.; Fine, Sarah; Trentacosta, Christopher J.
Child Development, v73 n6 p1775-87 Nov-Dec 2002
This study examined a model of emotional, cognitive, and behavior predictors of peer acceptance in 201 early elementary school students. Findings indicated that social skills mediated the effect of emotion knowledge on same- and opposite-sex social preference. However, social skills and verbal ability were more strongly related to opposite-sex peer acceptance. Findings suggest that adaptive social skills constitute a mechanism whereby children express emotion knowledge and achieve peer acceptance. (Author/KB)
