Abstract

ALVES, Diana Rute Pereira  and  CRUZ, Orlanda. Emotional and social predictors of peer acceptance in school-age children. Psicologia [online]. 2010, vol.24, n.2, pp.113-129. ISSN 0874-2049.

This study intends to contribute to a comprehensive vision of emotional and social processes in peer relations. It is intended to analyse the role of emotion knowledge and social abilities as predictors of peer acceptance. The participants were 131 children attending third grade, aged eight to nine years. The results showed that social abilities mediated the effect of emotion knowledge on peer acceptance. The effect of child emotional knowledge on peer acceptance was largely explained by her/his social abilities.

Keywords : emotion knowledge; social abilities; peer acceptance.
