Fabes, Richard A.; Martin, Carol Lynn; Hanish, Laura D.; Anders, Mary C.; Madden-Derdich, Debra A.
Developmental Psychology, v39 n5 p848-58 Sep 2003
Examined the role of same-sex peer interactions in influencing early school competence and the degree to which effortful control (EC) moderated these relations. Results indicated that EC, measured at the end of the Fall semester, moderated the relations of children's same-sex play to their school competence, measured at the end of the following spring semester. Same-sex play positively related to school competence for high-EC boys and low-EC girls. (Author/KB)
