Abstract
In this cross-sectional study, we explore the benefits of peer transactions (competence and engagement) for children’s cognitive (e.g., executive functioning) and social/emotional (emotion regulation) capacities. By using extensive observational data on peer transactions combined with teacher reports, our study offers new insight into links between social competence and cognitive/social skills.
