This comprehensive, authoritative Handbook covers the breadth of theories, methods, and empirically based findings on the ways in which children and adolescents contribute to one another's development. Leading researchers review what is known about the dynamics of peer interactions and relationships from infancy through adolescence. Topics include methods of assessing friendship and peer networks; early romantic relationships; individual differences and contextual factors in children's social and emotional competencies and behaviors; group dynamics; and the impact of peer relations on achievement, social adaptation, and mental health. Salient issues in intervention and prevention are also addressed. This book will be invaluable to researchers, practitioners, and students in developmental, clinical, school, and educational psychology; counseling; and related disciplines. It may also serve as a text in graduate-level courses such as Peer Relations, Social Development, and Child and Adolescent Development.
"Outstanding. The relationships of children and adolescents with their peers are examined with exceptional thoroughness and authority by the key researchers in the field... The breadth of the topics covered and the clarity and accessibility of the writing make this book an excellent text for developmental psychology students." - Judith F. Dunn, Institute of Psychiatry, King's College London, UK "The clear structuring of the broad content helps readers to quickly find what they are looking for and to organize their own ideas about peer relations." - Jens B. Asendorpf, Department of Psychology, Humboldt University of Berlin, Germany
