Abstract: Relationships between peer interactive play and social competence in a sample of preschool
children (N = 85) considered at risk for academic difficulties were examined. Ratings of peer
interactive play and social emotional development were collected from parents and teachers on
the Penn Interactive Peer Play Scale and Vineland Social-Emotional Early Childhood Scale.
Multivariate techniques revealed significant correlations between parent and teacher ratings on
the measures. Results are discussed within the context of conducting multifaceted, ecological
assessments of preschool children. Implications for school psychologists are noted with regard
to the important associations between peer interactive play and social–emotional development.
The psychometric integrity of the PIPPS is further validated and extended beyond the initial
standardization sample to include a sample of primarily Caucasian children living in a more rural
area.
