Abstract

The hypothesis that self-perceptions would be more advanced developmentally than peer perceptions was assessed. The sample consisted of 80 males between 15 and 18 years of age. A structured interview was employed to obtain descriptions of self and a best friend. These data were coded into systems defining the constructs of differentiation, abstraction, and integration. The study's hypothesis was supported. A developmental model was presented to integrate the data on self and social cognition.
