Abstract: | Used Cavell's (1990) model of childhood social competence tocompare the social competence in peer relations of 25 children(ages 810 years) with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus(IDDM), 19 children with asthma, and 24 physically healthy children.Children were individually matched for economic status, race,gender, and age. Children, their parents, and their teacherscompleted measures of children's social adjustment, social performance,and social skills in peer relations. Contrary to hypotheses,no differences between the groups of children were noted onany of the measures of social competence. Results are discussedin terms of the resiliency of children's social competence tothese chronic conditions. |
