Antecedents & Subgroups of Peer Rejected Children

描述（由申请人提供）：同伴排斥与严重的儿童和青少年适应不良有关的证据强调了早期识别和干预有同伴排斥风险的幼儿的重要性。拟议中的研究将通过研究儿童亚组的稳定性，不同报告者（即教师，家长和观察）的影响，以及儿童亚组中拒绝的早期前因，来解决同伴拒绝文献中的空白。参与者将从一项更大的纵向研究中选出，该研究调查了父母对幼儿园和二年级婴幼儿社会情绪和行为问题以及社会情绪能力的报告，以及后来的社会情绪和学业调整。拟议的研究将重点关注两组儿童：（1）具有父母和教师调查数据的出生队列中的所有儿童（预期N=719）和（2）在攻击/拒绝亚组中随机抽样的约150名儿童，将收集其观察数据。数据将通过家长和教师填写的问卷以及对二年级教室儿童的观察来收集。从这项研究中获得的信息将是有用的，在确定儿童的同伴拒绝和预防和干预工作的发展的风险。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Evidence that peer rejection is associated with significant child and adolescent maladjustment emphasizes the importance of early identification and intervention for young children at-risk for peer rejection. The proposed study will address gaps in the peer rejection literature by examining the stability of subgroups of children, the effects of different reporters (i.e. teacher, parent, and observations), and early antecedents of rejection in subgroups of children. Participants will be selected from a larger longitudinal study examining parent reports of infant-toddler social-emotional and behavior problems and social-emotional competence and later social-emotional and academic adjustment in kindergarten and second grade. The proposed study will focus on two groups of children: (1) all children in the birth cohort with parent and teacher survey data (expected N=719) and (2) approximately 150 children randomly sampled across aggressive/rejected subgroups for whom observational data will be collected. Data will be collected through questionnaires filled out by parents and teachers and observations of children in their second grade classroom. The information derived from this study will be useful in identifying children at-risk for peer rejection and the development of prevention and intervention efforts.
