Social Reputation and Peer Relationships in Chinese and Canadian Children: A Cross-Cultural Study.

Chen, Xinyin; And Others

Child Development, v63 n6 p1336-43 Dec 1992

Measures of peer acceptance and peers' social reputation were administered to 8 and 10 year olds in Shanghai, China, and Ontario, Canada. Results indicated that sociability was correlated with peer acceptance, and aggression with peer rejection, in both countries. Shyness was negatively correlated with peer acceptance in the Canadian sample. (BC)
