The Development of the Norm of the Reciprocity of Self-Disclosure and Its Function in Children's Attraction to Peers.
Rotenberg, Ken J.; Mann, Luanne
Child Development, v57 n6 p1349-57 Dec 1986
Groups of 30 children (kindergarten, second, fourth, and sixth grades) were shown videotapes of four types of conversations between two stimulus children. In each videotape, one child began conversation, and other child responded, each of them making either a high- or low-intimate self-disclosure. Findings indicated that norm of reciprocity operates in affecting attraction to peers only by sixth grade. (Author/SO)
