Individual differences in false belief understanding are stable from 3 to 6 years of age and predict children’s mental state talk with school friends

“…For example, among hard-to-manage preschoolers, negative behaviors toward friends appear to show specific associations with deficits in executive function rather than in false belief understanding Hughes, White, Sharpen, & Dunn, 2000). In addition, studies of peer rejection in 4-to 6-yearolds indicate only modest relations with theory-of-mind performance (Badenes, Estevan, & Bacete, 2000;Slaughter, Dennis, & Pritchard, 2002; but see also Peterson & Siegal, 2002). Similarly, in a longitudinal study of British children who were adopted from Romanian orphanages (Colvert et al, 2008), emotional difficulties at 11 years of age were found to be related to prior deficits in emotion recognition but not to deficits in false belief understanding.…”

They also are less likely to be socially withdrawn (Badenes, Estevan, & Bacete, 2000). Similarly, children's theory of mind and emotion understanding predict their peer likeability (Cassidy, Werner, Rourke, Zubernis, & Balaraman, 2003), and emotion regulation is linked with peer acceptance (Raver, Blackburn, Bancroft, & Torp, 1999).…”

Predictors of mental state understanding in preschoolers of varying socioeconomic backgrounds

“…Badenes, Estevan, and Bacete (2000) reported a correlation between the ability to deceive others and girls' popularity. This same study indicated that peer-rejected children performed similarly on several theory of mind tasks to children classified sociometrically as average.…”
