Children's Evaluations of Retaliatory Aggression.
Ferguson, Tamara J.; Rule, Brendan Gail
Child Development, v59 n4 p961-68 Aug 1988
Examines the effect of the severity and causal nature of initial provocation on seventy-two five- to ten-year-old children's retaliation judgments. Children's perceptions of the provocation were more differentiated than those that had previously been reported. Evaluation of the retaliator varied systematically according to perceptions of the provocation and extremity of the retaliator's response. (RJC)
