Developmental Trajectories toward Violence in Middle Childhood: Course, Demographic Differences, and Response to School-Based Intervention.
Aber, J. Lawrence; Brown, Joshua L.; Jones, Stephanie M.
Developmental Psychology, v39 n2 p324-48 Mar 2003
Examined developmental trajectories toward violence over middle childhood and children's response to a universal school-based preventive intervention. Found that three growth patterns--positive linear, late acceleration, and gradual deceleration--characterized the children's trajectories, and these trajectories varied meaningfully by child demographic characteristics. Children exposed to large number of intervention lessons demonstrated positive changes in their social-emotional developmental trajectories and deflections from a path toward future aggression.
