Perceptions of Social Behavior and Peer Acceptance in Kindergarten.
Phillipsen, Leslie C.; Bridges, Sara K.; McLemore, T. Gayle; Saponaro, Lisa A.
Journal of Research in Childhood Education, v14 n1 p68-77 Fall-Win 1999
Used social behavior ratings from observers, teachers, and parents to predict kindergartners' perceptions of peer acceptance. Found that friendship skill predicted parent- and child-reported peer acceptance. Shyness/withdrawal inversely predicted teacher-reported peer acceptance. Aggression did not predict peer acceptance. Girls were rated as more prosocial than boys, and less aggressive than boys. No statistically significant race differences were found. (Author/KB)
