Mothers' Social Coaching, Mother-Child Relationship Style, and Children's Peer Competence: Is the Medium the Message?
Mize, Jacquelyn; Pettit, Gregory S.
Child Development, v68 n2 p312-32 Apr 1997
Evaluated contributions of mothers' social coaching and responsive style to preschoolers' interpersonal competence with peers. Found that coaching and style were largely independent and were correlated with social competence; both predicted teacher ratings, and style predicted peer acceptance. Found no evidence for mediation effect of coaching, but coaching predicted lower boys' aggression when mother-child relationship was less responsive. (KB)
