This research explored the contribution of social goal orientation, specifically, development (improving social skills and relationships), demonstration-approach (gaining positive judgments), and demonstration-avoidance (minimizing negative judgments). Children (N = 373; M age = 7.97, SD = .34) were followed from 2nd to 3rd grades. Validity of the social goal orientation construct was established through correlations with situation-specific goals and social adjustment. Development goals predicted adaptive responses (more effortful engagement, problem solving, advice seeking; fewer involuntary responses); demonstration goals predicted maladaptive responses (less effortful engagement, problem solving; more disengagement, retaliation). This study contributes to theoretical understanding of the process of peer aggression and interventions to promote optimal social health.
本研究探讨了社会目标取向的贡献，特别是发展（提高社交技能和人际关系）、表现趋近（获得积极评价）和表现回避（减少负面评价）。从二年级到三年级，对 373 名儿童（M 年龄=7.97，SD=.34）进行了跟踪研究。社会目标取向结构的有效性通过与具体情境目标和社会适应的相关性来确立。发展目标预测适应性反应（更多的努力投入、解决问题、寻求建议；较少的非自愿反应）；表现目标预测适应不良反应（较少的努力投入、解决问题；更多的脱离、报复）。本研究有助于理解同伴攻击的过程，并为促进最佳社会健康的干预措施提供理论依据。
