Contagion of Aggression in Day Care Classrooms as a Function of Peer and Teacher Responses.
Goldstein, Naomi E.; Arnold, David H.; Rosenberg, Jessica L.; Stowe, Rebecca M.; Ortiz, Camilo
Journal of Educational Psychology, v93 n4 p708-19 Dec 2001
This study examined whether aggression is contagious in day care classrooms. In a low-income, urban day care center, it was hypothesized that aggression was more likely to occur immediately following an aggressive act than when no aggression occurred. The prediction was tested using a newly developed randomization process and the hypothesis was supported. (Author)
