Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Oral communicative competence relates to peer acceptance only for boys and not to peer rejection, indicating gender as a moderator
- Children's oral communicative competence is significantly related to their sociometric status in childhood — a broader claim this one bears on
- Children with poorer oral communicative competence experience higher levels of peer rejection after controlling for gender, age, and SES — related
- The relation between oral communicative competence and sociometric status is expected to be interactional and transactional rather than unidirectional — related
- Rejected and disliked children communicate less responsively and less coherently than popular or liked peers — related
