Children's Peer Relations is a compilation of virtually everything that is known about the association between children's peer relations and the development of peer rejection, aggression, and antisocial behavior. Looking beyond the peer rejection process, this volume also covers dyadic relationships, cliques, and associations with difference types of peers as well as the effects of family influences. It is comprehensive in covering the last three decades of research that connect the dynamical features of the social and emotional processes associated with peer problems in childhood and mediators of peer experiences.

CHOICE Review

Compiled to honor the pioneering work of John D. Coie, this book brings together many notable scholars to present the latest research and theories on peer relations and the problems associated with peer rejection, aggression, and antisocial behavior. The most impressive aspect of this volume is the diversity of topics, which range from research on the context of peer relations--including gender differences and similarities--to the subjective experience of peer rejection to family influences on social development (the last a particularly captivating treatment). The contributors do more than simply describe the peer rejection process; they also look at prevention and intervention (e.g., peer-based interventions), thus making a valuable link between research and practice. New directions for research are also described. ^BSumming Up: Recommended. Graduate, research, and professional collections. T. Edwards University of San Diego
