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

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.
