Advances in Children's Peer Relationships and Social Skills in the West in Recent Decade

This review introduces major empirical activity and accomplishment in research on children's peer relations and social skills during recent ten years in the West. On one hand, researchers continued to investigate the determinants of children's peer relationships and social skills, including the children's behaviors, cognitive underpinnings and family processes, etc. Recently, on the other hand,emergent agendas aim to investigate the relational experiences as potential causes of development and adjustments, the affective and physiological correlations, role of gender, cultural and ethic differences on peer relationship and social skills.
