Background.
This exploratory study uses a multimethod approach to examine the relationship between social strategy usage and overall health in preschool children.
Methods.
Children's temperament, social strategies, and health assessments were obtained via reported behavior from parents and teachers.
In addition, children's use of prosocial and coercive strategies was observed and recorded via one-way windows in the preschool facility.
Results.
Results revealed that the temperament characteristic of effortful control was related to the observed use of coercive strategies and that coercive strategies were not observed by teachers, who viewed these children as primarily prosocial.
The reported use of both coercive and prosocial strategies was also related to decrease in illness.
Conclusion.
These findings in relation to previous work suggest that using both prosocial and coercive strategies can elevate status as well as maintain health even in young children.
