Abstract
NEWCOMB, ANDREW F.; BRADY, JUDITH E.; and HARTUP, WILLARD W. Friendship and Incentive Condition as Determinants of Children's Task-oriented Social Behavior. CHILD DEVELOPMENT, 1979, 50, 878-881. Firstand third-grade children, together with either a friend or a nonfriend (N = 88), were exposed to cooperative and competitive goal structures to assess the influence of friendship and incentive condition on task performance and social interaction. Children's performance was rewarded sequentially as follows: phase 1-shared rewards; phase 2-winner take all or proportional rewards; and phase 3-shared rewards. Friendship facilitated the expressive and reciprocal components of social interaction regardless of superordinate goal structure. Friends and nonfriends did not differ in terms of performance outcome.
