The review reports, from van der Wilt et al. (2018a) (N = 447 children aged 3.83–6.50, Nijmegen Test for Pragmatics, multiple regression analyses, cross-sectional design), that "oral communicative competence accounted for unique variance" in peer rejection. No effect size is printed.
"After controlling for gender, age, and SES, oral communicative competence accounted for unique variance: children with poorer oral communicative competence experienced higher levels of peer rejection."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Children's oral communicative competence is significantly related to their sociometric status in childhood — a broader claim this one bears on
- Oral communicative competence relates to peer acceptance only for boys and not to peer rejection, indicating gender as a moderator — related
- Rejected and neglected children show lower oral communicative competence than average children, while popular and controversial children do not differ from average — related
- Rejected and disliked children communicate less responsively and less coherently than popular or liked peers — related
- The relation between oral communicative competence and sociometric status is expected to be interactional and transactional rather than unidirectional — related
