Preschoolers' Likability as Cause or Consequence of Their Social Behavior.

Denham, Susanne A.; Holt, Robert W.

Developmental Psychology, v29 n2 p271-75 Mar 1993

Assessed teachers' ratings of social behavior and peers' ratings of likability for 43 preschoolers over a 10-month period. Among preschoolers, those who were friendlier, more cooperative, less aggressive, and less difficult were more well liked. Later likability was predicted by earlier likability, not by prosocial behavior. (BC)
