Effects of age, sex, and partner on children's dyadic speech.

GARVEY, CATHERINE, and BENDEBBA, MOHAMED. Effects of Age, Sex, and Partner on Children's Dyadic Speech. CHILD DEVELOPMENT, 1974, 45, 1159-1161. 12 triads of previously acquainted children, 42-67 months of age, were brought to a laboratory playroom. Each child was paired with 2 different partners in a free-play situation in same-age dyads. There were 12 same-sex and 24 mixed-sex dyads. The dyads were videotaped and their speech transcribed. Average number of words per utterance (W/U) and number of utterances (NU) were examined in two multiple-regression analyses. The W/U varied positively with age of speaker, but within this speech situation the speaker's W/U did not vary with that of partner. The analysis of NU supported a hypothesis of interpersonal adaptation. The NU of 1 speaker approximated that of his partner. This tendency toward adaptation was positively related to the age of the speaker.
