Abstract

The current study examined the best friendships of aggressive and nonaggressive boys (N = 96 boys, 48 dyads, mean age = 10.6 years). Friends completed self-report measures of friendship quality, and their interactions were observed in situations that required conflict management and provided opportunities for rule-breaking behavior. Although there were no differences in boys' self-reports of friendship quality, observers rated nonaggressive boys and their friends as showing greater positive engagement, on-task behavior, and reciprocity in their interactions compared with aggressive boys and their friends. Aggressive boys and their friends provided more enticement for rule violations and engaged in more rule-breaking behavior than did nonaggressive boys and their friends. Also, the intensity of negative affect in observed conflicts between aggressive boys and their friends was greater than that between nonaggressive boys and their friends. The findings suggest that friendships may provide different developmental contexts for aggressive and nonaggressive boys.

摘要

本研究考察了攻击性男孩和非攻击性男孩的最佳友谊（N = 96名男孩，48个二元组，平均年龄 = 10.6岁）。朋友完成了友谊质量的自我报告测量，并且在需要冲突管理以及提供违规行为机会的情境中观察他们的互动。虽然男孩们在友谊质量的自我报告上没有差异，但与攻击性男孩及其朋友相比，观察者评定非攻击性男孩及其朋友在互动中表现出更多的积极参与、专注行为和互惠性。攻击性男孩及其朋友比非攻击性男孩及其朋友提供了更多违反规则的诱因，并且参与了更多的违规行为。此外，攻击性男孩及其朋友之间观察到的冲突中负面情绪的强度大于非攻击性男孩及其朋友之间的冲突。研究结果表明，友谊可能为攻击性男孩和非攻击性男孩提供不同的发展背景。
