Two studies
examined a "child x environment" model of early school
adjustment. Findings indicated that entry factors directly and indirectly
influenced behavior, participation, and achievement in kindergarten.
Initial behavioral orientation influenced the type of relationships
formed with peers and teachers. Stressful aspects of relationships
adversely affected participation and achievement. Classroom participation
was an important prerequisite for kindergarten achievement. (Author/KB)
