摘要：This study investigated the relations among maternal cognition,maternal supervisory/monitoring behaviors,and their children`s peer competence. The participants were 40 kindergarten children and their mothers. The mothers completed a questionnaire concerning maternal beliefs about children`s social skills. Also their supervisory/monitoring behaviors were observed in the context of child-peer interactions. Children`s peer competence was measured using a sociometric status measure and a peer acceptance rating scale. Maternal beliefs were related both to the quantity/quality of maternal supervisory/monitoring behaviors and to children`s peer competence. Maternal supervisory/monitoring behaviors were also related to children`s actual peer competence.
