A Developmental Investigation of Social Aggression among Children.
Galen, Britt Rachelle; Underwood, Marion K.
Developmental Psychology, v33 n4 p589-600 Jul 1997
Two studies examined children's and adolescents' attitudes toward aggression. Found that boys viewed physical aggression as more hurtful than social aggression and girls rated social aggression as more hurtful. Girls rated an aggressor as more angry than did boys. Middle and high school participants viewed social aggression as indicating more dislike than did elementary school children. (Author/KB)
