Question: what types of social skills do we adapt to learn as we age?

Tom Gallagher-Mitchell answered on 6 Nov 2018:

Interesting question. So our social skills develop throughout the lifespan all the way into adulthood, however some research suggests that the skills we develop in childhood provide a model for how we socialise as adults.
For example if in childhood you get away with being manipulative in a group to get your own way you are more likely to continue this behaviour into adulthood.
