The present study sought to investigate the friendship formation of ethnic in-and out-group friendships, as well as differences in stability and quality, while accounting for the network structure (such as the tendency to befriend friends of friends).

The focus of this study was to explore children's evaluations of healthy peers and peers with cancer. A racially and ethnically diverse group of fourth- and fifth-grade children (n = 109) viewed a story about a child engaged in a physically challenging rock climbing tower activity at camp. The way the child (healthy or with cancer) ascended and…

In the first study, 551 (301 boys and 250 girls) Canadian primary school children (ages 8-11) nominated friends and liked-most classmates. In the second study, 282 (127 boys and 155 girls) US primary school…

Hoffmann, Lisa; Wilbert, Jürgen; Lehofer, Mike; Schwab, Susanne – European Journal of Special Needs Education, 2021
Empirical studies already examined various facets of the friendship construct. Building on this, the present study examines the questions of how the number of friendships and their quality differ between students with and without SEN and whether a homophily-effect can be identified. The sample consists of 455 fourth-graders from 28 inclusive…

Correia, Stephanie; Brendgen, Mara; Vitaro, Frank – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2022
Socialization among aggressive friends is believed to play a critical role in the development of aggressive behavior. This study examined the moderating effect of norm salience in the classroom on the association between reciprocal friends' and children's own physical, relational, and general aggression. A total of 713 children (M = 10.32 years,…

This study examines the effects of interactive book reading (IBR) implementations on typically developing students' social acceptance of students with special needs. Since inter-group and within-group comparisons are to be made, a split-plot design of factorial designs was used in the study. In this study, the Social Acceptance Scale (SAS) was…

Results show an overall increase in sharing with age, and an overall correlation between…

Xu, Jianjie; Troop-Gordon, Wendy; Rudolph, Karen D. – Developmental Psychology, 2022
Prior research links need for approval (NFA; the extent to which self-worth is contingent on peer approval or disapproval) to critical developmental outcomes, but little is known about how NFA develops over time or within social contexts. To address this gap, the present study used a sophisticated analytic approach (autoregressive latent…

Pan, Bin; Li, Tengfei; Ji, Linqin; Malamut, Sarah; Zhang, Wenxin; Salmivalli, Christina – Child Development, 2021
The present longitudinal study examined how and why classroom-level victimization moderates the prospective association between peer victimization and depressive symptoms with 2,643 third- and fourth-graders (M[subscript age] = 10.01 years) in China. Multilevel modeling revealed that peer victimization was more strongly associated with increasing…

Bass, Ellyn Charlotte; Saldarriaga, Lina Maria; Velasquez, Ana Maria; Santo, Jonathan B.; Bukowski, William M. – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2022
