Children's Peer Selection: Experimental Examination of the Role of Self-Perceptions.
Cassidy, Jude; Aikins, Julie Wargo; Chernoff, Jodi Jacobson
Developmental Psychology, v39 n3 p495-508 May 2003
The role of self-perceptions in peer selection was examined among seventh-graders and third-graders. Findings indicated that when evaluations (supposedly of unfamiliar peers) related to specific competence domains, seventh-graders preferred positive peers to negative peers, whereas third-graders selected peers who viewed them as they viewed themselves. When evaluations related to global self-worth, children's selections were unrelated to their own self-worth views. (Author/KB)
