Chen, Dora W.; Fein, Greta G.; Killen, Melanie; Tam, Hak-Ping
Early Education and Development, v12 n4 p523-44 Oct 2001
Examined preschoolers' peer conflicts in the naturalistic classroom setting during free-play time. Found conflicts about play and ideas significantly increased with age while those stemming from physical harm were low overall. Findings support the proposal that conflicts are natural contexts in which children develop socially, morally, and cognitively. (Author/SD)
