Social Networks and Aggressive Behavior: Peer Support or Peer Rejection?
Cairns, Robert B.; And Others
Developmental Psychology, v24 n6 p815-23 Nov 1988
Studied the aggressive behavior in school of two cohorts of boys and girls in the fourth and seventh grades. Highly aggressive subjects were usually solid members of peer clusters and typically had a network of friends. Aggressive patterns and correlated behaviors provided a basis for social cohesion and commonalities in friendships for both boys and girls. (RH)
