Situational Attributions and Dispositional Inferences: The Development of Peer Reputation.

Waas, Gregory A.; Honer, Stephen A.

Merrill-Palmer Quarterly, v36 n2 p239-60 Apr 1990

A total of 60 boys in second, fourth, and sixth grades participated in a study of the development of children's situational attributions and dispositional inferences about peers. All age groups were able to use attributional dimensions, but younger boys were less likely to use them to form negative dispositional inferences about a target peer. (Author)
