先前对儿童期攻击性的研究表明，作为一个群体，男孩比女孩更具有攻击性。我们假设，这一发现反映了缺乏对年轻女性相关的攻击形式的研究，而不是整体攻击性水平的实际性别差异。在本研究中，攻击的一种形式，假设是典型的女孩，关系攻击，被评估与同伴提名工具的样本491个三至六年级的儿童。公开的攻击（即，过去研究中评估的身体和言语攻击）和社会心理适应也进行了评估。研究结果为关系攻击的有效性和独特性提供了证据。此外，他们还指出，正如预测的那样，女孩在关系上比男孩更具攻击性。结果还表明，关系攻击性儿童可能有严重的适应困难的风险（例如，他们被拒绝的程度更高，孤独、抑郁和孤立的程度也更高。
Prior studies of childhood aggression have demonstrated that, as a group, boys are mole aggressive than girls. We hypothesized that this finding reflects a lack of research on forms of aggression that are relevant to young females rather than an actual gender difference in levels of overall aggressiveness. In the present study, a form of aggression hypothesized to be typical of girls, relational aggression, was assessed with a peer nomination instrument for a sample of 491 third- through sixth-grade children. Overt aggression (i.e., physical and verbal aggression as assessed in past research) and social-psychological adjustment were also assessed. Results provide evidence for the validity and distinctiveness of relational aggression. Further, they indicated that, as predicted, girls were significantly more relationally aggressive than were boys. Results also indicated that relationally aggressive children may be at risk for serious adjustment difficulties (e.g., they were significantly more rejected and reported significantly higher levels of loneliness, depression, and isolation relative to their nonrelationally aggressive peers).
