Abstract

HOWES, CAROLEE. Patterns of Friendship. CHILD DEVELOPMENT, 1983, 54, 1041-1053. Patterns of friendship were compared within 5 groups of young children. 3 groups were in a child-care center serving infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. 2 groups, 1 made up oftoddlers and 1 of preschoolers, were in programs for emotionally disturbed children. Friendships, defined as mutual preference for interaction, skill at complementary and reciprocal peer play, and shared positive affect, were observed in all groups. Younger children had fewer and more stable friendships. Emotionally disturbed children limited their friendships to single partners and returned to these partners following disruptions in the friendship. Over a school year, the greatest increases in complexity of social interaction were observed within stable friendship pairs.

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.
