What determines the focus of a researcher's interest, the sources
of inspiration for a study, or the variables scrutinized? If we
were to examine the antecedents of these decisions, they would
surely emerge as accidents of circumstance--the personal
experiences of the researcher, the inspiration of early mentors,
the influence of contemporary colleagues--all tempered by the
intellectual currents that nurture the researcher's hypotheses.
Among the accidents that mold the careers of researchers is
geographic location. The culture in which a research program
emerges helps determine both its very subject and its method. The
primary purpose of this book is to assist those interested in the
scientific study of children's social competence in transcending
the boundaries imposed both by geography and by selective exposure
to the highly diverse schools of thought that have led to interest
in this field. Most of these ideas were presented and exchanged at
an Advanced Study Institute entitled "Social Competence in
Developmental Perspective" held in Savoie, France, in July 1988.
This Institute was attended by scholars from France, England,
Northern Ireland, Germany, Italy, Norway, Spain, Portugal,
Netherlands, Canada, the United States and Brazil. Those who
participated will recognize that the metamorphosis from lecture to
chapter has necessitated many changes. In order to accommodate the
reader who may be unfamiliar with the field, more attention has
been paid here to identifying the theoretical contexts of the
research described.
