A Review of Cross-Cultural Studies of Observed Peer Interaction.

Goudena, Paul P.; Vermande, Marjolijn M.

Early Child Development and Care, v172 n2 p141-51 Apr 2002

Examined cross-cultural research literature for support of relationship between children's social functioning and peer acceptance and psychosocial well-being. Used PsychLIT search to identify 18 cross-cultural observational studies focusing on interaction of children up to 12 years. Encountered theoretical orientations. Found that the studies did not relate social behavior to peer acceptance and well-being and that such study is needed. (Author/KB)
