McEvoy, Mary A.; Estrem, Theresa L.; Rodriguez, Michael C.; Olson, Michelle L.
Topics in Early Childhood Special Education, v23 n2 p53-63 Sum 2003
This study compared three methods for assessing relational aggression (RA) and physical aggression (PA) in preschool children: a teacher rating scale; a peer nomination measure; and a direct observation measure. Results showed intermethod agreement between peer and teacher ratings of RA for girls and PA for boys. All three methods indicated boys engaged in more aggressive behaviors than girls.
