研究结果：在幼儿教育中，儿童的社会生态被认为是健康行为发展的关键。然而，基于直接观察儿童所做的事情来描述每时每刻的信息相对较少（即，顺序）关系的身体攻击和同伴拒绝行为在幼儿的背景。这种信息可能对政策和实践有用，因为它可以为具体的干预目标提供信息。在这项描述性研究中，使用实时直接观察协议来测量身体攻击行为和同伴拒绝行为的频率。直接观察到的身体攻击和同伴拒绝行为之间的顺序关联进行了检查5个高危学龄前儿童（儿童行为检查表/教师报告表临床评分）在开始（时间1 [T1]）和结束（时间2 [T2]）的学前一年。描述性分析表明，在学龄前一年的过程中，侵略和同伴拒绝行为增加。序贯分析表明，从T1到T2，身体攻击的可能性显著增加（p<0.05），随后是同伴拒绝行为，这是由Yule's Q（控制儿童目标行为频率差异的转换比值比）索引的。同样，从T1到T2，同伴拒绝行为伴随身体攻击的可能性显著增加（p< .05）。实践或政策：考虑到攻击和相关的早期行为问题可能会给教育和社会服务系统带来长期的不利影响，使用直接观察的额外研究来研究高危儿童的同伴拒绝行为和身体攻击之间的早期社会动力学似乎有必要提高专家破坏这种发展轨迹和改善同伴关系的能力。
Research Findings:In early childhood education, the social ecology of the child is considered critical for healthy behavioral development. There is, however, relatively little information based on directly observing what children do that describes the moment-by-moment (i.e., sequential) relation between physical aggression and peer rejection acts in early childhood contexts. Such information could be useful for policy and practice because it may inform specific intervention targets. In this descriptive study, a real-time direct observation protocol was used to measure the frequency of physically aggressive acts and peer rejection acts. The sequential association between directly observed physical aggression and peer rejection acts was examined for 5 high-risk preschool children (Child Behavior Checklist/Teacher Report Form clinical scores) at the beginning (Time 1 [T1]) and end (Time 2 [T2]) of their preschool year. Descriptive analyses showed that both aggression and peer rejection acts increased over the course of the preschool year. Sequential analyses showed that there was a significant (p< .05) increase in the likelihood of physical aggression followed by peer rejection acts from T1 to T2 as indexed by Yule's Q (a transformed odds ratio that controls for differences in the frequencies of children's target behavior). Similarly, there was a significant (p< .05) increase in the likelihood of peer rejection acts followed by physical aggression from T1 to T2.Practice or Policy:Considering the long-term adversity that aggression and related early conduct problems can introduce into the education and social service system, additional studies using direct observation to study early social dynamics between peer rejection acts and physical aggression in at-risk children seem warranted to improve experts' ability to disrupt this developmental trajectory and improve peer relationships.
