Peer Relationships, Child Development, and Adjustment: A Developmental Psychopathology Perspective
Abstract
This chapter first traces peer experiences and relationships from their building blocks in infancy and early childhood through their advances in adolescence. It then discusses the major theoretical frameworks that have guided thinking and research on the importance and impact of peer relationships. The chapter illustrates some dimensions along which children's peer experiences may differ. Next, the chapter tackles the implications of problematic peer relationships. Research pertaining to reciprocal behavior between children and their peers to support a model of the processes underlying peer maladjustment is then reviewed. This model specifies the reciprocal roles of child social cognition and behavior and peer appraisals and responses in the unfolding of peer adjustment or maladjustment, with attention to the emerging understanding of emotion in this process. Finally, the chapter uses child social anxiety to illustrate how the principles of developmental psychopathology may guide the understanding of peer maladjustment.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
