TY - JOUR PY - 2023// TI - How "peer-fear" of others' evaluations can regulate young children's cooperation JO - Behavioral and brain sciences A1 - Hepach, Robert A1 - Gerdemann, Stella Claire SP - e64 EP - e64 VL - 46 IS - N2 - Children's cooperation with peers undergoes substantial developmental changes between 3 and 10 years of age. Here we stipulate that young children's initial fearfulness of peers' behaviour develops into older children's fearfulness of peers' evaluations of their own behaviour. Cooperation may constitute an adaptive environment in which the expressions of fear and self-conscious emotions regulate the quality of children's peer relationships.
