An exploratory study on peer socialization to change selective mutism among children
description <p>The study aimed to explore the personalities in terms of anxiety and shyness, behaviors</p><p>in terms of avoidance behavior and oppositional behavior, and social skills of children</p><p>with selective mutism. The study also uses peer socialization to explore the changes in</p><p>children with selective mutism. As a qualitative method of this study, the triangulation</p><p>approach was used to conduct the four case studies. Four children with selective</p><p>mutism were chosen as cases. Each teacher of the four children with selective mutism</p><p>had been interviewed by the researcher. The data of interview transcripts was supported</p><p>by observation with the children and document analysis. All the data form the initial</p><p>codes, combine into one narrative, and report according to four themes. The findings</p><p>show 1) children with selective mutism are high levels of neuroticism regarding</p><p>shyness, quietness, and anxiety; 2) oppositional behavior only appears when the</p><p>children first joined to school, however, they present avoidance behavior in the long</p><p>term; 3) the children have poor social skills as they difficult in building relationships</p><p>with others; 4) by using peer socialization, the level of neuroticism had changed, the</p><p>children seldom to present avoidance behavior and start to interact with others. The</p><p>characteristic of selective mutism had been clarified in this study and reduced the gap</p><p>of selective mutism within previous studies. Teachers understand well on children with</p><p>selective mutism had allowed these children to get proper treatment such as peerassisted</p><p>learning in school. However, the time limit of conducting this study affected</p><p>that the use of peer socialization was only a suggestion for teachers to deal with</p><p>selective mutism. For future studies, researchers encourage to have a longer time</p><p>duration to conduct a long-term exploration of the case study among children with</p><p>selective mutism by using peer socialization.</p>
