Abstract
A number of intervention programs have been developed to teach children the skills necessary for effective interactions with others (see Furman, 1984; Hops, 1982). Some investigators have developed programs to improve the sociometric status of children who are not liked or who are disliked by their peers. Others have designed interventions to increase the rates of peer interaction of children who are isolated from their peers. Although there is considerable controversy concerning which of these approaches is more appropriate, the objective of both is to enhance children's relationships with their peers.
