Paperback : $160.00
The definitive handbook on peer relations has now been significantly revised with 55% new material. Bringing together leading authorities, this volume presents cutting-edge research on the dynamics of peer interactions, their impact on multiple aspects of social development, and the causes and consequences of peer difficulties. From friendships and romance to social withdrawal, aggression, and victimization, all aspects of children's and adolescents' relationships are explored. The book examines how individual characteristics interact with family, group, and contextual factors across development to shape social behavior. The importance of peer relationships to emotional competence, psychological well-being, and achievement is analyzed, and peer-based interventions for those who are struggling are reviewed. Each chapter includes an introductory overview and addresses theoretical considerations, measures and methods, research findings and their implications, and future directions.
New to This Edition
*Chapters on neuroscience, social media, social inequality, prosocial behavior with peers, and sociological approaches.
*Expanded coverage of applied issues: chapters on interventions for socially withdrawn children, activity programs that promote positive youth development, and policy initiatives.
*Chapters on same- and other-sex peer relationships, peer influence, educational environments, evolutionary models, the self-concept, personality, and animal studies.
*Increased attention to variations in peer relations due to culture, gender, and race.
*Many new authors and topics reflect a decade's worth of theoretical and methodological advances, including the growing use of complex longitudinal methods.

"The second edition of this handbook provides the definitive
summary of research on children’s peer relations. Even for the
seasoned veteran, there is much to learn here. Findings from
individual differences research synergize with developmental
findings in novel ways. For example, we learn from Hay, Caplan, and
Nash that species-wide development in social cognition presages
species-wide growth in play, and from McDonald and Asher that
individual differences in social cognition predict individual
differences in peer acceptance. The field has matured to the point
where Lansford’s capstone chapter on public policy now has the
authority of strong empirical science."--Kenneth A. Dodge, PhD,
Pritzker Professor of Public Policy and Professor of Psychology and
Neuroscience, Duke University
"The contributors to this second edition are a 'who's who' of
researchers in peer relationships. The breadth of topics is equally
impressive, covering everything from effects of genes, popularity,
and income to the evolutionary bases of peer relations and their
links to mental health. The book embodies an impressive range of
disciplinary perspectives. Perhaps most important, the individual
chapters are interesting and provocative--they not only thoroughly
review the literature, but also take a stance and make new points
that should help advance the field. The editors and contributors
are to be commended for an outstanding work!"--Joseph P. Allen,
PhD, Hugh P. Kelly Professor of Psychology, University of
Virginia
"The second edition of this handbook reviews recent advances in the
field and presents a complete picture of relevant theories and
research methods. The volume offers a multidisciplinary perspective
on peer relations in both typical and atypical development. Peer
relations are explored in all of their dimensions, from the
influences of individual differences and cultural contexts to the
dynamics of dyads, groups, friendships, and romantic relationships.
Among the book's numerous strengths are discussions of intervention
and policy issues, as well as new content on neuroscience."--Simona
C. S. Caravita, PhD, Department of Psychology, Catholic University
of the Sacred Heart, Milan, Italy
"Impressive in its scope and coverage of the literature on
children’s peer relations. The second edition includes
comprehensive, current updates on such topics as the relation
between peer acceptance or rejection and children's later
adjustment. There are new chapters on intriguing, scientifically
important topics, including how children function within networks
and groups. Valuable reading."--John E. Lochman, PhD, ABPP,
Professor and Doddridge Saxon Chairholder in Clinical Psychology,
University of Alabama -In the second edition of this handbook,
editors Bukowski, Laursen, and Rubin have assembled an impressive
team of leading scholars, delivering revised and new topics on peer
interactions, relationships, and groups. Half the content of the
book is new to the second edition….The handbook is a must read for
academics with interest in peer interactions and relationships.
Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and

that we may expect for a 'true' developmental handbook....The scope
of the volume is also impressive and the structure is logical and

the 'A-list' of researchers and theorists working in this area and
there is no comparable resource available....Researchers and
instructors will find this collection useful for refining and
expanding their own work and for introducing colleagues and
students to the state of the art in peer relations research. The
work presented here and the overview that these experts provide

expanded, where the active lines of research currently lie, and
where they might be headed....This handbook [is] a solid investment
for anyone who needs to access the state of the art or wishes to
see where it might be headed. (on the first edition)--Journal of

definitive volume on the social development of children from
