Abstract

Children's reasoning about the interrelationships among three significant aspects of the child's social world—parental authority, friendship, and sibling relations— was investigated. One hundred and twenty-six children (2nd, 4th, and 6th grad ers) participated. Children were asked about the rights of parents to prohibit a friendship when parents justified the rule due to the behavior of the peer. The findings revealed that children's conceptions regarding legitimacy and obedi ence to parental rules prohibiting a friendship vary as a function of the parental reason given for the rule. Children were also asked about the role that peers should play when witnessing (a) a sibling's rule violation prohibiting a friendship, and (b) various direct behaviors of a friend. The results suggest that children's thinking about the active role of peers depends on the social behavior of their associate. Age differences were found in children's evaluations.
