Title: Socialization Factors in the Development of Social Withdrawal
Abstract: The study of social withdrawal in childhood is predicated on the assumption
that having opportunities to play and interact with other children is
important for socioemotional development. This assumption has received
broad support from aIl theories of child development that give consideration to the significance of peer interaction (e.g., Hartup, 1983; Mead,
1934; Piaget, 1926; SuIIivan, 1953). More recently, there has been growing
empirical support for it as weIl, provided by studies demonstrating that
children who are extremely withdrawn relative to their age-mates tend to
remain withdrawn and increasingly tend to manifest socioemotional difficuIties as they grow older (Rubin, Hymel, & MiIIs, 1989; Rubin & MiIIs,
1988).
