Concurrent and Longitudinal Relations between Children's Playground Behavior and Social Preference, Victimization, and Bullying.

Boulton, Michael J.

Child Development, v70 n4 p944-54 Jul-Aug 1999

Examined concurrent and longitudinal links between observational measures of 8- to 9-year olds' playground behaviors/peer contacts (alone, conversation, group size, and network) and three sociometric measures of peer relationships (social preference, bully, and victim). Found significant concurrent and predictive relationships, with relationships differing for boys and girls. (Author/KB)
