尽管近年来我们对儿童攻击性的理解取得了许多重要进展，但先前研究的一个重大局限性是缺乏对性别在攻击性与社会心理调整之间的联系中可能发挥的调节作用的关注。为了解决这个问题，作者评估了男孩和女孩与性别规范和性别非规范形式的攻击行为相关的调整状态。评估的社会心理适应指标包括教师和自我报告的内化和外化困难（N = 1,166 名 9-12 岁儿童）。结果显示，进行性别非规范形式的攻击行为（即，明显具有攻击性的女孩和关系性攻击性男孩）的儿童比进行性别规范形式的攻击行为和非攻击行为的儿童更容易适应不良。
Although many important advances have been made in our understanding of childhood aggression in recent years, a significant limitation of prior studies has been the lack of attention to the possible moderating role of gender in the links between aggression and social-psychological adjustment. To address this issue, the author evaluated the adjustment status associated with engagement in gender normative versus gender nonnormative forms of aggression for both boys and girls. Indexes of social-psychological adjustment assessed included teacher and self-reports of internalizing and externalizing difficulties (N = 1,166 children 9-12 years old). Results showed that children who engaged in gender nonnormative forms of aggression (i.e., overtly aggressive girls and relationally aggressive boys) were significantly more maladjusted than children who engaged in gender normative forms of aggression and children who were nonaggressive.
