Numerous dimensions of the peer social networks of children with Down syndrome were examined within a developmental framework. Results revealed that for many key measures, particularly involvement in play, linkages to other settings, and control of play, children with Down syndrome have less well-developed peer networks even in comparison to a mental age matched group of typically developing children. This suggests both an absence of any social advantage in the peer context for children with Down syndrome and the existence of unusual difficulties that may be traced to underlying problems in peer-related social competence. The need for future observational studies of peer interactions for this group of children was emphasized.
在一个发展框架内，对唐氏综合征患儿同伴社交网络的多个维度进行了研究。结果显示，在许多关键指标上，尤其是在游戏参与度、与其他环境的联系以及游戏控制权方面，唐氏综合征患儿的同伴网络发展不如同龄人，即便与心理年龄匹配的正常发育儿童群体相比也是如此。这表明唐氏综合征患儿在同伴环境中既没有任何社交优势，还存在一些特殊困难，这些困难可能源于与同伴相关的社交能力的潜在问题。文中强调了未来对这组儿童同伴互动进行观察性研究的必要性。
