This study examined the stability and growth over a 3-year period of individual differences in preschool children's social competence, which was assessed in three domains: social engagement/motivation, profiles of behavior and personality attributes characteristic of socially competent young children, and peer acceptance. A total of 255 children (126 girls and 129 boys) participated in this study. Growth curve analyses demonstrated both stability and change with regard to social competence over early childhood. Social competence measures and latent variables were invariant over this time period, individual differences in social competence were largely stable from year to year, and significant increases over time were observed for the domain most closely reflective of specific personal attributes skills.
本研究考察了学龄前儿童社会能力在三年期间的个体差异的稳定性和增长，社会能力在三个领域进行评估：社会参与/动机、具有社会能力的幼儿特征的行为和个性特征的特征、同伴接受。共有 255 名儿童（126 名女孩和 129 名男孩）参加了这项研究。增长曲线分析表明，社会能力在整个幼儿期都具有稳定性和变化性。社会能力测量和潜在变量在这段时间内是不变的，社会能力的个体差异在逐年基本稳定，与最能反映特定个人属性技能的领域相比，随着时间的推移，观察到显著的增长。
