Russell, Alan

Journal of Youth and Adolescence, v13 n1 p73-92 Feb 1984

A model of social skills in childhood and adolescence using the concepts and literature on symbolic interactionism is proposed. Its components (role-taking, role-making, definition of situation, and self) and their potential contributions to social skills analysis are discussed. An application to friendship making and possible model limitations are given. (BS)
