Pramuk, Gladys; Danner, Fred – 1982
The literature suggests that children steadily move away from egocentric thought and acquire more effective interpersonal skills as they age, but at puberty a new egocentrism makes self-disclosure difficult. To develop an adequate behavioral measure of self-disclosure, 16 situations were described to children aged 8, 11, and 14 years old, who then…

Attractiveness ratings of 50 children (26 males and 24 females) aged 12-38 months are studied in relation to adults' socializing behavior and attitude toward them.

Hancock, Thomas E.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Education, 1996
Study behaviors common to elementary school students were incorporated into a questionnaire administered to 793 fourth and sixth graders.
