Eleven children with VCFS and eleven sibling control children without VCFS ages 7-11 years old completed the Self-Perception Profile for Children, the Intention Cue Discrimination Task, the Affective Perspective Taking Task, the Purdue Elementary Problem Solving Inventory (PEPSI), and the Friendship Questionnaire to measure social skills, friendships, and perceived social competence. The results indicated that children with VCFS had significantly lower scores on multiple measures of social skills. Specifically, children with VCFS displayed more encoding errors, more aggressive responses to problem situations, difficulties understanding others’ affect, difficulties with problem solving and less intimate friendships. However, children with VCFS did not score significantly lower on a measure of perceived social competence. These findings suggest that children with VCFS may be more likely to have social skill deficits in the areas of understanding others' intentions and affect, problem solving and they may experience less intimacy and companionship in their friendships. Despite these deficits, it appears that children with VCFS still have similar perceptions of their abilities compared to other children. 2002 English text Xavier University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=xavier1382970326 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=xavier1382970326 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
