Abstract
Our research focuses on the correspondence between 7-year-olds’ observed prosocial behavior toward siblings and friends and mothers’ perceptions of their children’s relationships. We found some agreement between mothers’ perceptions and observed prosocial behavior in sibling relationships, but no concordance between observed behavior and mothers’ perceptions of friendships.
