The purpose of this study was to investigate the distinct forms (i.e., physical and relational) and functions (i.e., proactive and reactive) of aggressive behavior during early childhood (n = 101; M age = 45.09 months). Forms, but not functions, of aggressive behavior were stable over time. A number of contributors to aggression were associated with distinct subtypes of aggressive behavior. Females and socially dominant children were more relationally aggressive and older children were less physically aggressive than their peers. Longitudinal analyses indicated that social dominance predicted decreases in physical aggression and peer exclusion predicted increases in relational aggression. Overall, the results provide support for the distinction between subtypes of aggression in early childhood.
本研究的目的是调查幼儿期（n = 101；平均年龄 = 45.09个月）攻击行为的不同形式（即身体攻击和关系攻击）及功能（即主动攻击和反应性攻击）。攻击行为的形式而非功能随时间推移具有稳定性。攻击行为的一些影响因素与不同的攻击行为亚型相关。与同龄人相比，女孩和社会主导型儿童的关系攻击行为更多，年龄较大的儿童身体攻击行为较少。纵向分析表明，社会主导地位预示着身体攻击行为的减少，同伴排斥预示着关系攻击行为的增加。总体而言，研究结果为幼儿期攻击行为亚型之间的差异提供了支持。
