Elementary-School Children's Rough-and-Tumble Play and Social Competence.
Pellegrini, A. D.
Developmental Psychology, v24 n6 p802-06 Nov 1988
Observations of playground behavior of kindergarteners and second- and fourth-grade students suggested that rough-and-tumble play led to games-with-rules for popular children, and to aggression for rejected children. Findings are discussed in terms of possible effects of the sociometric composition of rough-and-tumble play groups. (RH)
