“…The bulk of such studies have looked at the associations between children's self-perception and their social adjustment (e.g., Boivin & Hymel, 1997;Brendgen, Vitaro, Turgeon, Poulin, & Wanner, 2003;Hughes, Cavell, & Grossman, 1997;Salmivalli, 1998;Salmivalli, Kaukiainen, Kaistaniemi, & Lagerspetz, 1999;van Boxtel, Orobio de Castro, & Goossens, in press;Verschueren & Marcoen, 2002). On the other hand, there is a completely different set of studies addressing children's representation of peers in terms of peer beliefs (Rabiner et al, 1993), internal representational models of peers , and attributional biases concerning peers' intentions in hypothetical situations (see Orobio de Castro, Veerman, Koops, Vosch, & Monshouwer, 2002). Even in the few studies involving both self-and peer perceptions (e.g., Ladd & Troop-Gordon, 2003;Rudolph & Clark, 2001;Rudolph et al, 1995), these two constructs are typically treated separately, and their unique, rather than joint, effects on the outcome variables of interest are examined.…”
