Changing Social Dynamics in Early Childhood Classrooms.
Ramsey, Patricia G.
Child Development, v66 n3 p764-73 Jun 1995
Obtained peer nominations and observed peer contacts for three-, four-, and five-year-old preschoolers from fall to spring. Found that children's sociometric ratings became increasingly negative, especially for cross-sex peers; the frequency of cross-sex contacts decreased; and four-year olds spent more time in large groups than three- and five-year olds.
