Rudolph, Karen D.; Dodson, Jillian F. – Journal of Early Adolescence, 2022

The present study of 150 adolescents ("M" age = 13.05 years) examined the associations between appearance-based rejection sensitivity (Appearance-RS) and psychological adjustment during early adolescence, and evaluated three types of other-gender peer experiences (other-gender friendship, peer acceptance, and romantic relationships) as…

Hawley, Patricia H.; Little, Todd D.; Card, Noel A. – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2007
Recent theory on social dominance suggests that aggressive individuals should be socially successful if they also display prosocial behavior. The combination of coercive and prosocial strategies of resource control (i.e., bistrategic control) is thought to facilitate hierarchy ascension. Adolescents (N = 929, grades 7-10) were queried about the…

Low intermarriage rates may be partially…
