Pianta, Robert C.; And Others
Early Education and Development, v8 n2 p137-52 Apr 1997
Compared children retained in kindergarten with matched samples of age and grade mates, using teacher ratings as an index of their social and academic skills. Found that retained children showed a reduction in behavior problems, specifically acting-out and shy-anxious behaviors, but only slightly increased competence for task orientation across time. (SD)
