CAMPO TERNERA, LILIA ANGÉLICA. DEVELOPMENT OF BOYS AND GIRLS SELF CONCEPT RELATED TO SOCIAL INTERACTION IN CHILDHOOD. Psicogente [online]. 2014, vol.17, n.31, pp.67-79. ISSN 0124-0137.

This research paper focuses on the description of the development of a self-concept in relation with social interaction that happens between children and other adults or partners. 312 children were chosen of both sexes between the ages of 3 and 7. All of them were registered in educational institutions such as kindergarten, pre-nursery, nursery and first grade. The Inventory on Development Battelle was applied in an empirical and analytical study with a transactional and descriptive design. The results given showed that a child who is not provided with the social procurement for his age, presents a low emotional development. In this manner, a low self-concept was correlated with difficulties of interaction with adults or parents. In this way, the stimulating and strengthen-ing of the personal and social development in the infancy, both in the family and in the school, is very important.
