Abstract
Social competence has been suggested to serve a protective function in emotional functioning and may compensate for some deleterious experiences. This study found that adherence to family routines and older fathers were significant predictors of preschool social competence. The subjects were 91 black children enrolled in a metropolitan Head Start program who were rated for social competence by their teachers.
