A Behaviour‐Based Peer‐Nomination Measure of Social Withdrawal in Children
Research on social withdrawal has been impeded by problems in the definition of the construct and in its measurement. The purpose of this study was to develop a behaviourally‐based peer‐nomination measure useful in measuring two types of withdrawal: Inhibited/Wary and Self‐Conscious/Anxious. In Study 1, we report the development of the measure. We examined whether this two‐factor structure would be supported by data obtained from multiple informa…
A longitudinal exploration of the continuity of children's social participation and social withdrawal across socioeconomic status levels and social settings
The major purpose of this study was to determine the stability across time and social setting of children's social participation and social withdrawal. We followed a sample of Canadian children, aged five years at the beginning of the study, for two years. Children from lower-SES homes were less involved than those from the higher-SES in group play after school and during outdoor recess. Across the full sample, social withdrawal was not very stab…

A Longitudinal Exploration of the Cross-Contextual Stability of Social Withdrawal in Early Adolescence
The purpose for the present study was to determine the stability across time and social setting of the social withdrawal of early adolescents. Nominations by school peers for social withdrawal were stable across a 3-year period. Daily activity logs completed by parents indicated considerable stability for participation in large-group activities with peers in the community, but not for activities involving smaller groups of peers. Participants nom…
Adolescent-Parent Attachment and Adolescents' Relations with their Peers
We hypothesized that adolescents who reported secure attachments with their parents would display higher levels of interpersonal relational competence. Sixty-three 10th-grade pupils completed the Inventory of Parent Attachment and the Interpersonal Competence Questionnaire. Despite the fact that attachment is generally conceptualized as a unidimensional construct, we found little concordance between positive aspects of attachment (i.e., trust and…
Children's reasons for nominating their peers as withdrawn
This study examined children's reasons for choosing peers for the withdrawal items on the Revised Class Play (RCP). Eighty-eight elementary-school children nominated peers they felt were best described by each RCP item. Reasons for their nominations were classified into 2 categories: passive withdrawal from and active isolation by the peer group
Age-related differences in children's perceptions of social deviance
Age-related changes in children's perceptions of aggression and withdrawal in their peers
