The Emergent Personologist: The Structure and Content of 3 1/2-, 5 1/2-, and 7 1/2-Year-Olds' Concepts of Themselves and Other Persons.
Eder, Rebecca A.
Child Development, v60 n5 p1218-28 Oct 1989
A total 72 children of 3 1/2, 5 1/2, and 7 1/2 years were asked questions about their behaviors and internal states, and of a best friend and an acquaintance. Results indicated even young children have concepts of themselves and other persons that are not restricted to specific points in time and may form basis for later dispositional conceptions. (RH)
