Haskett, Mary E.; Kistner, Janet A.

Child Development, v62 n5 p979-90 Oct 1991

Peer interactions of abused and nonabused children in a day care setting were evaluated. Abused children initiated fewer positive interactions with peers and exhibited a higher proportion of negative behaviors than did nonabused children. Peers viewed abused children as less well liked than nonabused children. (BC)
