Peer Persuasion: A Study of Children's Dominance Strategies.
Williams, David E.; Schaller, Kristi A.
Early Child Development and Care, v88 p31-41 1993
Identified how 20 preschool children attempted to exert dominance over peers. Found that verbal assertiveness was the most frequently employed, though least successful, dominance strategy. Physical assertiveness was successful when a child exhibited athletic superiority. The use of theme plays was the most successful strategy in eliciting a submissive response from peers. (MM)
