规范性信念被定义为关于社会行为适当性的自我调节信念。在2项研究中，作者修订了他们的量表，用于评估关于攻击的规范信念，发现它是可靠的和有效的用于小学儿童，并调查了关于攻击的规范信念和攻击行为之间的纵向关系，在大样本的贫困城市社区的小学儿童。使用相隔1年的两波观察中获得的数据，作者发现，随着年龄的增长，儿童倾向于批准更多的攻击行为，并且这种增加似乎与攻击行为的增加有关。更重要的是，虽然攻击行为的个体差异可以预测年幼儿童规范信念的后续差异，但攻击行为的个体差异可以通过年长儿童规范信念的先前差异来预测。
Normative beliefs have been defined as self-regulating beliefs about the appropriateness of social behaviors. In 2 studies the authors revised their scale for assessing normative beliefs about aggression, found that it is reliable and valid for use with elementary school children, and investigated the longitudinal relation between normative beliefs about aggression and aggressive behavior in a large sample of elementary school children living in poor urban neighborhoods. Using data obtained in 2 waves of observations 1 year apart, the authors found that children tended to approve more of aggression as they grew older and that this increase appeared to be correlated with increases in aggressive behavior. More important, although individual differences in aggressive behavior predicted subsequent differences in normative beliefs in younger children, individual differences in aggressive behavior were predicted by preceding differences in normative beliefs in older children.
