title: Conceptual tempo and resolution of social conflict by children.
abstract: Of 55 boys between 7 and 12 yr. old, 12 most reflective (on the Impulsivity score or conceptual tempo) chose an assertive alternative on the Social Reasoning Inventory more often than the 14 most impulsive boys. The observation replicates prior work but suggests conceptual tempo as a construct has unclear relevance to social reasoning.
