This study tested the hypothesis that friends are more similar in proactive aggression than in reactive aggression. Interpersonal processes that may account for this similarity (i.e., selection and mutual influence) were also examined. In the fall and spring of the school year, the friendships of 185 4th-, 5th-, and 6th-grade boys were identified. Proactive and reactive aggressive behavior were assessed with a teacher-rating instrument for each boy. The results support the general hypothesis and suggest that proactively aggressive boys tend to select proactively aggressive peers as friends; however, mutual influence between stable friends does not appear to account for similarity. These findings are discussed within the framework of G. R. Patterson, J. B. Reid, and T. J. Dishion's (1992) theory of antisocial behavior.
朋友之间在主动攻击行为上比在反应性攻击行为上更相似。本研究还考察了可能解释这种相似性的人际过程（即选择和相互影响）。在学年的秋季和春季，确定了185名四、五、六年级男孩的友谊关系。使用教师评定工具对每个男孩的主动和反应性攻击行为进行评估。结果支持了这一总体假设，并表明具有主动攻击行为的男孩倾向于选择同样具有主动攻击行为的同龄人作为朋友；然而，稳定朋友之间的相互影响似乎并不能解释这种相似性。这些发现将在G. R. 帕特森、J. B. 里德和T. J. 迪希恩（1992年）的反社会行为理论框架内进行讨论。
