An Integrative Examination of Peer Conflict: Children's Reported Goals, Emotions, and Behaviors.
Murphy, Bridget C.; Eisenberg, Nancy
Social Development, v11 n4 p534-57 2002
This study examined interrelations among 7- to 11-year-olds' typical emotions, goals, and behavior during peer conflict and the predictive value of emotions and goals for behavior. Findings indicated that children's goal friendliness during peer conflict related to low anger and high sadness intensity. Children reporting nonconstructive behavior tended to report relatively intense anger and relatively unfriendly goals. Goal friendliness uniquely predicted constructiveness of children's behavior after controlling several variables. (Author/KB)
