Two Approaches to the Concept of Dominance in Preschool Children
Sluckin, Andrew M.; Smith, Peter K.
Child Development, 48, 3, 917-923, Sep 77
Aggressive incidents were observed for 23 children in 2 preschool playgroups. Linear dominance hierarchies were constructed for each group and rank orderings on toughness were obtained. The rankings on perceived toughness correlated better with initiation of aggression than with observed dominance position. (JMB)
