Abstract
Studies have been made of peer activities and relationships of teenagers, but there is little research on the interpersonal and group patterns of preadolescents (9 to 13 years of age). In this study of Missouri youth, the author investigates the type of peer activities the preadolescent engages in, the relative frequency of his associations on both a group and individual basis, and his attitudes and behavior toward children of the same and opposite sex. The conclusions have many implications for educators, for parents, and for leaders of preadolescent youth programs and organizations.
