The effects of peer group rejection on 7- and 9-year-old children's (N= 192) reactive, displaced, and proactive aggression were examined in a group simulation study. Children were assigned membership in a pretend social group for a drawing competition and were then rejected or accepted by their group. Their direct and indirect aggressive intentions towards either the ingroup or outgroup were assessed. Analysis of their aggressive intentions revealed enhanced indirect aggression but less direct aggression. Peer group rejection, in comparison with acceptance, instigated reactive aggression towards the ingroup, and displaced reactive aggression towards the outgroup. Accepted children displayed proactive aggression towards the outgroup but not the ingroup. The implications of the findings for peer group rejection and aggression research are discussed.
在一项团体模拟研究中，考察了同伴群体排斥对 7 岁和 9 岁儿童（N=192）的反应性、转移性和主动性攻击的影响。在绘画比赛中，孩子们被分配到一个假装的社会群体中，然后被他们的群体接受或拒绝。评估了他们对内部群体或外部群体的直接和间接攻击意图。对他们的攻击意图的分析显示，间接攻击增强，而直接攻击减少。与接受相比，同伴群体排斥会引发对内部群体的反应性攻击，并将反应性攻击转移到外部群体。被接受的孩子会对外部群体表现出主动性攻击，但不会对内部群体表现出主动性攻击。讨论了这些发现对同伴群体排斥和攻击研究的意义。
