Cobb, Jill Cockrel; Cohen, Robert; Houston, David A.; Rubin, Elizabeth C.
Child Study Journal, v28 n4 p291-308 1998
Examined fourth, fifth, and sixth graders' self-conceptualizations about their own appearance in relation to peer evaluations of social behaviors. The children also indicated how important they believed appearance to be for peer relationships. Found that the association of appearance self-discrepancies and particular behavior dispositions occurred only in children who believed physical appearance was an important factor in peer relationships.
