Editorial reading guide · Kindness
How can I convey acceptance when my child tells me about peer difficulties?
For the Kindness section, this study offers a way to examine children’s accounts of paternal acceptance alongside experiences of peer victimization.
Who was studied?
660 Greek primary-school students, including 107 with identified special educational needs
Age / stage: Late primary school
Read with three questions
- How did the authors investigate children’s accounts of paternal acceptance alongside experiences of peer victimization?
- Whose report describes the parent, the child and the outcome, and where might those reports differ?
- Did perceptions of paternal acceptance differ for students with and without identified special educational needs?
Keep the limits in view
Self-reported victimization, self-perception and acceptance can influence each other. The groups also differed in size.
