مستخلص: | This study assessed the extent to which the emergence and maintenance of peer group-status and behavior reflect the operation of group processes and individual processes. Of specific concern was whether support could be found for empirical relations derived from the self-perpetuation hypothesis. The study, which concerned the constructs of cognitive bolstering and behavioral confirmation, focused on the process through which perceivers confirm their expectations cognitively and treat others behaviorally in ways that cause them to confirm the perceivers' expectancies about them. To examine these relations, 108 boys between 7 and 8 years of age were assigned to 36 triads. Triads consisted of boys from three social status groups--popular, rejected, and neglected--who were acquainted or unacquainted with each other. Each group participated in a series of four 1-hour play sessions. Recordings were made of various social behaviors during the play sessions and each boy was interviewed about his expectations of, memory for, and interpretation of his own and his partners' social behaviors. Preliminary analyses suggest some validity for the self-perpetuation explanation of the stability of social status and behavior in children's peer relationships. (Author/RH) |
