Abstract
Pediatric brain tumor patients experience elevated peer and social problems. In a sample of 39 patients, regression analyses predicting social problems found a main effect of working memory (WM) and secondary control coping (SCC); SCC accounted for the effect of WM, and the interaction of SCC and WM was significant.
