Consequences of Retaliatory Aggression against Siblings and Peers: Urban Minority Children's Expectations.

Herzberger, Sharon D.; Hall, Jennifer A.

Child Development, v64 n6 p1773-85 Dec 1993

Among a group of mostly African-American and Hispanic 10- to 14-year-olds, boys believed that parents would disapprove more of retaliation against siblings than friends, whereas girls believed that parents would equally disapprove of retaliation against either target. Children expected that retaliation was more likely to deter additional aggression from friends than from siblings. (MDM)
