Abstract
Review and evaluate recent research that has examined the link between parent–child interaction patterns and peer competence / this research has progressed through several phases over the last decade.
 
In the first phase, studies were designed to demonstrate that variations in patterns of parent–child interaction were, in fact, related to peer outcomes / the aim of these studies was a careful description of the specific types of parent–child interaction that, in turn, would be most predictive of variations in peer outcomes.

More recently, a second phase of this research has begun, namely the search for mediating processes that, in turn, can account for the observed relations between these two systems / it is proposed that emotional regulatory mechanisms play a central role as mediators between the family and peer contexts / an exploration of both of these phases of research in this area is undertaken in this chapter.
