Social and Emotional Competencies: Contributions to Young African-American Children's Peer Acceptance.

Smith, Maureen

Early Education and Development, v12 n1 p49-72 Jan 2001

Explored the relation between measures of emotional competence, behavioral regulation, and general social competence and African American preschoolers' peer acceptance and popularity. Found that gender, emotional knowledge, emotion regulation, and themes of violence in response to hypothetical situations of interpersonal conflict were strongly related to peer acceptance.
