Effects of Friendship and Gender on Peer Group Entry.
Zarbatany, Lynne; And Others
Child Development, v67 n5 p2287-2300 Oct 1996
Examined effects of hosts' conflicting motives on peer group entry outcomes among 68 triads of children, ages 10-12 years. Two host friends played a game for a prize that was forfeited for a smaller prize if a guest was included. Found that hosts admitted guest friends more often than nonfriends; female hosts admitted guests more often than male hosts. (MDM)
