Rough and Tumble, Friendship, and Dominance in Schoolchildren: Evidence for Continuity and Change with Age.
Humphreys, Anne P.; Smith, Peter K.
Child Development, v58 n1 p201-12 Feb 1987
Investigated play-fighting and chasing among 7-, 9-, and 11-year-olds in their school playground, where rough and tumble behaviors occupied approximately 10 percent of the time of 94 students. Findings indicated that rough and tumble tended to occur in a friendly, nonaggressive context. The importance of partner's strength increased with age. (Author/RH)
