摘要：This study examined effects of children`s emotionality,interpersonal problem solving strategies,and maternal behaviors during mother-child interaction on children`s social competence as rated by teachers. Data were analyzed separately for boys and girls. A total of 102 children(60 boys,42 girls;aged 5-6) and their mothers were studied. Children`s positive and negative emotionality were related to their social competence. Positive solving strategies were positively related to boy`s social competence;negative solving strategies had negative to both boy`s and girl`s social competence. Mother`s negative affect related negatively to boy`s social competence and mother`s sensitivity/ guidance related positively to girl`s social competence. When children`s emotionality and interpersonal problem solving strategies were controlled,maternal behaviors during mother-child interaction did not contribute to children`s social competence,.
