2.讨论了过去关于社会适应的研究的局限性：(1)倾向于关注男孩典型的攻击形式(例如，公开攻击)，而忽视更典型的女孩形式(例如，关系攻击)和(2)倾向于研究消极行为(例如，攻击性)，而忽略积极行为(例如，亲社会行为)。采用纵向设计(n=245；3-6年级，9-12岁)，在学年的3个时间点对儿童的关系攻击、公开攻击、亲社会行为和社会适应进行评估。研究结果表明，正如过去对外显攻击性的研究所证明的那样，关系攻击性的个体差异随着时间的推移相对稳定。此外，关系攻击性对未来社会适应不良的预测有独特的贡献，而不是公开的攻击性。最后，亲社会行为为未来社会适应的预测贡献了独特的信息(除了外显和关系攻击所提供的信息)。
2 limitations of past research on social adjustment were addressed: (1) the tendency to focus on forms of aggression that are typical of boys (e.g., overt aggression) and to neglect forms that are more typical of girls (e.g., relational aggression) and (2) the tendency to study negative behaviors (e.g., aggression), to the exclusion of positive behaviors (e.g., prosocial acts). Using a longitudinal design (n = 245; third- through sixth-grade children, 9-12 years old), assessments of children's relational aggression, overt aggression, prosocial behavior, and social adjustment were obtained at 3 points during the academic year. Findings showed that, as has been demonstrated in past research for overt aggression, individual differences in relational aggression were relatively stable over time. Additionally, relational aggression contributed uniquely to the prediction of future social maladjustment, beyond that predicted by overt aggression. Finally, prosocial behavior contributed unique information (beyond that provided by overt and relational aggression) to the prediction of future social adjustment.
