Question 38

A developmental psychologist carried out an event sampling observation of peer interaction in a local nursery. She observed toddlers of two different age groups (2-year-olds and 3-year-olds) during free-play sessions. She recorded the occurrences of cooperative, solitary, and parallel play behaviors over a sequence of 15-minute intervals. Her findings are shown in Table 1 below.
