Reviews

"This first-rate volume considers the mechanisms and processes involved in peer influence from a variety of conceptual and theoretical viewpoints and presents a fascinating sampling of new research." - Willard W. Hartup, Regents' Professor Emeritus, Institute of Child Development, University of Minnesota, USA "This remarkable volume from distinguished editors and contributors proposes original and compelling conceptual models!.Many of the authors discuss general and specific implications of their work for prevention and intervention programs. This book would be an excellent text for advanced undergraduates, master's students, and beginning doctoral students in developmental, educational, school, and clinical psychology." - W. Andrew Collins, Morse-Alumni Distinguished Teaching Professor, Institute of Child Development, University of Minnesota, USA
