Korneyeva. [Features of interpersonal attraction in preschoolers: Abstract of master's thesis]

Abstract:
Author suggests a hypothesis about a connection between child’s personality traits (aggressiveness, anxiety and egocentrism) and it’s status in the group of peers as a personal attractiveness pointer. Connection between those traits and behavioral strategies in conflict are although examined. It was found that anxious children solving the conflict usually tend to conform and rather than cooperate or contest. They although gain higher status in group. The research found that cooperative behavior is not common among high status children.
