Seven- to 9-year-old boys (N = 177) and their mothers participated in this study in which the associations between boys' experiences with their mothers, their beliefs about familiar and unfamiliar peers, and their peer adjustment were examined across a 2-year period. Boys' negative behavior with mothers was associated with their having more negative beliefs about familiar and unfamiliar peers and with their being more aggressive and less well-liked. Beliefs about familiar peers predicted changes in boys' social acceptance, whereas negative beliefs about unfamiliar peers predicted changes in aggression. In addition, boys' beliefs about peers changed in response to their social experience. The implications of these findings for children's social development are discussed.
7至9岁的男孩（N = 177）及其母亲参与了本研究，该研究在两年时间内考察了男孩与母亲相处的经历、他们对熟悉和不熟悉同伴的看法以及他们的同伴适应情况之间的关联。男孩对母亲的负面行为与他们对熟悉和不熟悉同伴持有更多负面看法、更具攻击性以及不太受欢迎有关。对熟悉同伴的看法预示着男孩社会接纳度的变化，而对不熟悉同伴的负面看法则预示着攻击性的变化。此外，男孩对同伴的看法会因他们的社交经历而改变。本文讨论了这些发现对儿童社会发展的启示。
